We are very lucky to have this record ofthis. Mind boggleing scenic vistas, and closeup and personal detail, weave a rough and raw tapestry of this way of life. The audio track is pure open mic. no narration, no music, just the sounds of the sheep,dogs, people, and horses. The Absaroka-Beartooth wilderness does have actual Bears, and they eat a sheep or two before they're drven off with gunfire. These are truly precious images. I heartily recommend this film!
Be sure to check out Bakhtiari Migration if you enjoyed Sweetgrass.
If you're from Montana the magic of these cowboys might not be very entertaining... Just sayin...

Totally engaging, beautifully done...you get the sense of seeing the whole cycle of a year for these sheepherders.
Excellent, reminded me of home.
