On the Trail of China’s Last Reindeer Herders

Renowned documentary director Gu Tao recounts his journey into indie filmmaking and his years living with Ewenki herders in northern China

We live in a modern society now.

It’s swallowed us up.

shoot at me,

then I’ll say

“Go ahead, shoot!”

—Weijia, former Ewenki hunter
