How Arctic Nomads Survive Far From Civilization in Russia

#yamal #Arctic #Documentary #russia #nomads #survival #siberia

A documentary film about the survival of the Nenets nomads in the Arctic, one of the coldest regions in Far North Russia. This is a real-life story of human endurance, thousands of reindeer, and traditional nomadic life in the Siberian tundra.

I traveled to the Yamal Peninsula to document the winter migration of indigenous reindeer herders. You will witness how nomadic people dismantle their chums (traditional tents) and move their massive reindeer herds across the frozen Arctic landscape in extreme cold. They survive and preserve an ancient way of life far from modern civilization in Northern Russia
