Before beginning 'the Rabbit Proof Fence,' we watched a Mongolian based film called the 'Weeping Camel.' It was a simple movie. It was based on a family living in the Gobi desert. Its title, 'the Weeping Camel' is literally about a camel the family was raising. In summary, the family this documentary is based on owns a farm in Mongolia. There, they raised camels and sheep. In the beginning of the film, one of their camels gave birth; throughout the movie the family works to get the mother camel to accept her young one. Here you get to see their way of life and how important family is. This documentary does a great job is showing the clash between the Mongolian way of life, to the American way of living. It shows how the people are greatful for things that many of us in America take for granted. It was a truly an interesting film that gave me appreciation for the things I have. It was able to show me a whole different kind of living that I was so unaware existed.
