Transhumance is a form of grazing, a long-distance, seasonal movement of people with their livestock (especially sheep, cows and goats) between two geographic and climatic regions along stable routes. “The herders who do this work have deep experiential knowledge about the environment, ecological balance and climate change, as it is one of the most efficient and sustainable livestock systems in terms of resource use.
The accompaniment and coexistence of the documentation team with the shepherds and their companions has made it possible to make this documentary on the practice of transhumance in the 21st century.
