In Mongolia’s coldest winter, two herders fight storms and wolves to protect 2,000 horses.
In Mongolia’s Tsakhir Valley, herders once led thousands of horses across frozen steppes each winter. A fading tradition now facing its toughest test. Two young men take on the coldest winter on record and the daunting task of protecting 2,000 horses through months of ferocious arctic storms and relentless wolf attacks. A real-life story of camaraderie and survival, “Iron Winter” is a remarkable window into one of the world’s most breathtaking and forbidding environments. For those who love films with vast landscapes and stories full of quiet strength.
