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 as once lush grasslands are rapidly turning into deserts. 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. DROKPA reveals the unprecedented environmental and sociopolitical forces that are pushing the Tibetan nomads to the edge of their existence with rare access to an extended nomadic family living at the center stage of this drastic and historical change.
