Did anyone else see the documentary about the weeping camel?
Not joking. It was on cable last night. About an extended family in Mongolia who raised camels. One gave birth but rejected the baby and wouldn't nurse. They sent 2 of their kids on a journey into the nearest town to bring back a musician. He came and he played and the camel wept and began nursing. The mother camel actually wept. It was fascinating and heartwarming.

I watched it about a year ago. Worth watching. A little
peek into another culture.

12. I just watched it. Thanks for the link,
I really enjoy movies like this - simple, happy living.
I wonder how the television will change them.

8. Netflix has it
I saw it when it was on instant - but now you have to add it to your queue.
I recommend it, it was really interesting.
