A #cinema #documentary #anthropology question:
Years ago I saw a low-budget doc about anthropologists visiting Zanskar #Tibet before the first Chinese road arrived. They interviewed the king, a doctor, and a kind elder who only wanted to talk gossip and kept refilling their barley beers.
Today all I can find by Search are glowing big-budget praises of China in Tibet.
Does anyone else recall that earlier doc?

@teledyn
Zanskar is in India,
Look for these:
Mustang: The Hidden Kingdom (1990's)Zanskar, the Last Place on Earth (1980)
The Works of Marianne Chaud (2008–2010)
Drop Tibet and China in your search. Look at:
Zanskar documentary Michel Peissel 1980
or
anthropologist documentary Mustang kingdomSee if that helps find what you are looking for.

@teledyn Could it be Amchis: The Forgotten Healers of the Himalayas by Samuel Ducoin from 2000 or 2001?

The bbc seems the likely candidate, a thousand thanks for overruling my memory!
I have spent 35 years, apparently, in envious awe of their doctor's vocation: doctors are never paid, they roam village to village where every need they may have is graciously accommodated.

Anytime you need a old person, just let me know.@sflorg you wouldn't also maybe recall the French New Wave film with the scene where the couple try to buy a getaway car with cash, the dealer throws them out of his shop for trying to use cash, and moments later robs them?
