Living With the Tsaatan: Inside Mongolia’s Reindeer Nomads | SLICE

Deep in Mongolia’s taiga, daily life follows a rhythm far removed from the modern world. For two weeks, the filmmaker lives alongside two Tsaatan families, sharing the routines that shape their days: collecting wood, milking reindeer, preparing food, moving through the forest and spending long evenings together inside their traditional shelters. The reindeer are at the heart of everything. They provide milk, transport and a connection to a nomadic way of life that has endured for generations. But isolation does not mean complete separation from the outside world. Modern schooling is beginning to reshape family life. When children reach school age, mothers may have to leave the taiga with them for months, while fathers remain behind with the herds. As winter closes in and the families prepare to move, this intimate immersion reveals both the beauty and the fragility of a lifestyle built around family, reindeer and the vast Mongolian wilderness.
