Women in Zanskar | FULL DOCUMENTARY

At an altitude of nearly 4,000 meters, Sking is one of the most isolated villages in the Himalayan region of Zanskar. In just three months, from August to October, the Zanskaris have to harvest and store all their food for the coming year. All the women-young and old alike-work nonstop, from dawn to dusk, and worry about the arrival of winter.
Filmed from the point of view of a subjective camera by a young female ethnologist, Himalaya, Land of Women offers a sensitive and poetic immersion in the life of four generations of women during harvesting season. We share their rare intimacy and gradually grow attached to them.
Documentary: HIMALAYA, LAND OF WOMEN
Directed by: Marianne Chaud
Production: ZED and ARTE France

Admirable life ; hardwork but simple life. And adorable people . My prayers for Grandma's soul, who died 3 days after , but the contentment is visible on her .

Absolutely love your documentary of the village, the people, & their lives. As you conversed with everyone, I couldn't help but fall in love with their sweet souls & there human & humble nature; as they did their daily chores without complaints or harsh words. They are peaceful, patient, & kind. Loved watching them move thru their day. Beautiful vista. How far back, can the people & their ancestors be documented? Thank you for spending the time to record the 3 months you stayed with them. You are quite special yourself. Your voice & the questions you asked; let me know that you really cared for & developed loving relationships with them. I feel blessed to have found your film. There was something so spiritual & comforting as I watched💜🙏💐

Have you ever come back and visit the village? I watched this video a while ago but still keep watching again. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful village beautiful peoples and wonderful documentation.

[@muhammadanwarulhaq9208]

I am watching it for the second time, the first time was maybe two years ago but I have always kept it in the back of my mind. It is a very good documentary. The effort that went into making it is commendable.

[@rajendralimbu3360]

This is the second time I'm watching this. And I love evrybit of it. Especially the little girl ❤

[@melissasmith4128]

[@gerryhouska2859]

[@neeru6896]

[@nadzeyasushchevich7681]

One of the best docu I have ever seen!

[@robertcronin6603]

Fabulous! Absolutely fascinating - can't say enough... thank you! ❤

[@rezaamery1221]

Thanks for your great video And these infinitely loving and kind people ❤🌺

[@Journeytoindiacoin]

Beautiful movie, it's nostalgic for me. I have travelled there for 35 yesrs of life❤ omg when no roads were there, people are and were so simple. Once a month in summer they would get fresh vegetables from Darcha for the area in the movie was nearest crossing over Shingola reaching Darcha in 2-3 days but more down the valley nearest town 😅 is Padum to get supplies. I guess their life was hard till 2019 till roads were carved now they get fresh supplies for 4-5 months a year. Once road was I stopped going there my last trip was in 2019. I hopes roads will improve their life style but they will be robbed of their cultural identity. Lord bless them and once again thanks for the movie.

Thank you!

Very good documentary, enjoyed iit , loved the music , can't hardly wait for the next one

[@davideborgna4918]

Bellissimo, visto più volte, sempre molto toccante... Grazie per queste immagine di vita.... 🙏👍👋

[@ekosaputraloupatty]

20:53 "is life happy here?" this scene make me cry and totaly gratefull, cause its so deep for me. I'm grateful to be able to watch this documentary. Because there is so much knowledge that I can get. Sometimes in this life we are too busy thinking about how to get rich, we forget how to be grateful and enjoy all that God has given. Your life will be beautiful when you give thanks and enjoy it without comparing your life with others.

[@BeMindfulLalit]

Really amazing I feel like to visit this place 😊 thanks for showing us

[@Echoingsweetly]

This is the very best video in KZbin......

Stupendo, peccato che non fai le traduzioni in piu lingue , sarebbe fantastico e avresti enormemente piu publico , bravissima

[@beyondinfinity3876]

This is the best part of youtube videos!Thank you youtube algorithm!

[@nomaddesibro]

What a motivational video 🙏👍

[@lorenaguevara848]

I loved they were all the time with a huge smile, even the hard life they have they smile, a big learning for us, I loved the little girl learning some words in English, my heart feel sad bc they deserve a better life... If I were there I would have help them with their jobs

[@deckiedeckie]

THeir joy is their wealth.....

[@patrisha7487]

Very interesting video. I'm surprised they live to age 80 with the hard life and lack of a diversified diet. I am sure that she will miss you as she called you her sister. I wondered how a new born was handled in their way of life. The children seem wise for their years. I really enjoyed this but it makes me appreciate what I have.

[@phoebeel]

I think our diet is a luxury but not a must. We could eat only mashed potatoes (with milk and butter) as the only meal for the rest of our lives and we'd be fine. The movement, social group and contentment of their lives keeps their bodies and minds healthy. Humans aren't much different from any other animal, we can survive in thrive without all this stuff we have in the west. You don't look at a cat and say "she must be bored or unhealthy if she only eats meat"

[@marystack5652]

Such a wonderful true life story! Tell us what happened to Kenrap, please.

[@ca.kumargaurav]

I lived this kind of life in my village... nd now I am living in a city like Mumbai. But I can confirm you, I was 1000 times happier there in my village.

[@imanslotboom6121]

These women are heroes excellent video well done!!!!!!!

[@sandrabentley8111]

Lovely documentary. What a harsh life they live! No fruits or vegetables except potatoes? Why not plant other root crops? Are they mosyly meat eaters? What is the life span there? What is their religion? I have so many questions.

[@tseringangmo3320]

Life span is 70-80years, follow Buddhism

[@tseringangmo3320]

Mostly non-vegetarian .....they grow other vegetables aswel but climate is harsh enough to sustain vegetation.Summer is short

[@Aesthetic_landscape]

Hello Sandra, I believe it's an old/re uploaded, except for super remote area now most of them are well connected with other parts and some place even have 4g network, it's true that there few vegetables but mostly they made meals out of barley or herbal plant grown in high mountain, to outsider it might taste bland but it's high in protein and have no side effects. Most of them practice buddhism and life span are average at 70-80, you may say they are non-veg eater but most of the time they do not kill for food but when sheep/yak has a natural deaths or kill by wolf/dogs, then they consume it, dried it for consume during harsh winter.

[@SudeeshESukumaran]

​​@@pashagoldshtein768Actually they are Indo-Tibetans living in the remote Himalayan mountains in states of Himachal and Ladakh in India. Looks like this Documentary is at least 25~20 years old.

Its absolutely so utterly sad ,but at the same time happy,,,happy that,they haven't been tainted or polluted,or brainwashed,but they as civilization are so far behind,

[@beyondinfinity3876]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@413smr]

What do they do with all the grass?

[@kforest2745]

That child is way better off learning the hills and sheep than in the city with what the father calls “arrogant” lol so true the city folk learn less

[@Renew55574]

I was lucky I had good respectful grandparents its odd meeting older people that are not respectful. We were taught to respect old people the best we could.

[@deckiedeckie]

I'll never complaint again!

[@Demebeso714]

Once tourism comes to this beautiful place and their culture will come to an end...tourism will bring pollution ..in soil and water and introduce foreign foods that wont be any good for them...the beautiful children need to go to school...all of the children must go to school. Thanks for this video...very educational

I wonder when they get sick what kind of medicine they use it.

[@waseemrizvi8531]

What is life. How it be provided to live with avoid hunger.Has life can not prolong with out eating some things.I am thinking to see the old women .walking holding stick similarly in the big lucxerious cities but has no food kept in the tefrigiraters just ready to eat if has fitigue like other old to recover from hunger pain in stomach.❤🎉😢😢😅

[@fightingtosurvive6527]

[@user-kb4fx3xi9l]

Bunlar kızılderililere benziyor ten renkleri bile

[@tarangmall6372]

Could have covered the comparatively developed areas of Zanskar too.. too much of efforts put just to show only the most backward and harsh to live areas..whereas it is developing at a good pace..

[@deckiedeckie]

If there are gods watching, I fm now affirn them gods are no good...

[@ajenjerang7262]

Maybe you should help instead watching them struggle atleast that little 13 year old girl deserves

[@whazup2023]

Need to translate into english. Dont speak or understand this language. This documentary would be nicer if I could understand what they are saying.

[@kforest2745]

The universe forbid should these isolated areas ever become congested with fraudulent cities

[@lalalou123.]

Subs please ?????????

[@Carolina-nn6ye]

Wow, very little information. 50 min of no information. Cutting, gathering grass. Thats it! Where's medical care, bathrooms, do they live in those large structures, where's the men? Where do they get water, electricity? How are they able to buy clothes, shoes? Ridiculously uninformative!

[@Carolina-nn6ye]

@@tsetanamo3537 I seen them "fetching" water. Actually what YOU SAID, I SEEN IT IN THE VIDEO. I don't know why you felt the need to explain WHAT I SAW. My comment was directed to the OP of this video, not to someone THAT FEELS THE NEED TO EXPLAIN WHAT I SEEN WITH MY EYES. I wasn't asking you!!

[@stanzin_namgyal_official8474]

Angmo lay ,hope to see uh in zanskar
