OPENING NIGHT ONLINE: A child of nomadic herders tending the sweeping lands of the Mongolian steppe, 11-year-old Amra dutifully helps his parents take care of their land, sheep, and goats. When his work is finished, he devours YouTube videos with his friends, dreaming of being featured as a singer on Mongolia's Got Talent with his folk hymn "Golden Veins." As greedy gold mining companies begin threatening the community's traditional way of life, Amra's father organizes an opposition group within their close-knit clan. Following a sudden, tragic accident, Amra must grow up quickly to become the protector of his family and carry on a legacy of preserving his people and their lands. Mongolian-born, German-based filmmaker Byambasuren Davaa (The Cave of the Yellow Dog, MVFF28; and the Oscar®-nominated The Story of the Weeping Camel) has crafted a beautifully shot, hopeful testament to the power of preserving cultural heritage and embracing the resistance required to defend it.
