A fascinating music doc that cuts between AnDa Union’s extraordinary live performances, the band members’ lives in Hohhat and their family homes on the grasslands of Mongolia. The haunting sound of their strange throat singing and two string violins make for some rousing tunes. Throw in their colourful costumes, the making of their instruments, a wedding, horses, much drinking and sheep slaughtering and, above all, the wide open steppes and you’re transported to another world. Not to be missed by anyone interested in world music or the awesome Mongolian landscape.
