Autumn Migration

Episode 2 of 5

One family's autumn migration with their horses and cattle over the remote mountains where Russia borders Mongolia. From 2012.

Nomadic herding is being revived in Tuva. Cicely Fell joins one family's autumn migration with their horses and cattle over the remote mountains where Russia borders Mongolia.

The Khemchik valley in western Tuva is a wild frontier land of derelict villages, where extreme poverty is driving many families to return to traditional nomadic herding as a way to survive.

Cicely joins the Mongush family as they set out on their autumn migration. The journey takes them over remote mountains along the Russian-Mongolian border, from the taiga forest to the grassland steppe. A nomadic way of life re-emerging from the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Producer: Cicely Fell

An Above the Title production for 大象传媒 Radio 4, first broadcast in July 2012.
