A #cinema #documentary #anthropology question:
Years ago I saw a low-budget doc about anthropologists visiting Zanskar #Tibet before the first Chinese road arrived. They interviewed the king, a doctor, and a kind elder who only wanted to talk gossip and kept refilling their barley beers.
Today all I can find by Search are glowing big-budget praises of China in Tibet.
Does anyone else recall that earlier doc?
@teledyn
Zanskar is in India,
Look for these:
Mustang: The Hidden Kingdom (1990's)
Zanskar, the Last Place on Earth (1980)
The Works of Marianne Chaud (2008–2010)
Drop Tibet and China in your search. Look at:
Zanskar documentary Michel Peissel 1980
or
anthropologist documentary Mustang kingdom
See if that helps find what you are looking for.
The bbc seems the likely candidate, a thousand thanks for overruling my memory! 😅
I have spent 35 years, apparently, in envious awe of their doctor's vocation: doctors are never paid, they roam village to village where every need they may have is graciously accommodated.

@sflorg found possibly the post-road sequel
The 30-years-later is a hard one to watch. It's the story of all of us as the broligarchy builds their highways into our world, those who still know the way out rapidly vanishing, captured by all the cool toys 😔
