DROKPA

Set in the high plateau of eastern Tibet, DROKPA is an intimate portrait of the lives and struggles of Tibetan nomads whose life is on the cusp of irreversible change. The grasslands of the Tibetan plateau are home to the source of Asia’s major rivers. Nearly half of humanity depends on this water for survival. Tibetan nomads, known as “Drokpa” have roamed on this land for thousands of years. In recent decades, these once lush grasslands are rapidly turning into deserts.
