Thank you so much for posting this!! I saw this once in a college class I was in and have been wishing I could find it ever since! Imagine my surprise when I just searched "grass historical film" in RUclips and got this as my top result! You've seriously made my day! 😃
You're very welcome ... we're proud that we saved this wonderful and important piece of ethnography. Love what we do? Consider a Super Thanks or join us on Patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm
The most fabulous film on an ethnic/nomadic life, from 100 years ago.... It is a miracle it was filmmed (crossing the 'mighty Karun' on those bulky film cameras), and even more so that it has survived. Much younger films have not. Only if they had not printed that bloody counter on the bottom in such a large size to cover the spoken texts, and put their logo at the corner, not in the center bottom where important information is given by the original explorer....
Here's the issue: Tens of thousands of films similar to this one have been lost forever -- destroyed -- and many others are at risk. Our company preserves these precious bits of history one film at a time. How do we afford to do that? By selling them as stock footage to documentary filmmakers and broadcasters. If we did not have a counter, so that they can identify the material they need to license, we could not afford to post films like these online, and no films would be preserved. It's that simple. So we ask you to bear with the watermark and timecodes. In the past we tried many different systems including placing our timer at the bottom corner of our videos. What happened? Unscrupulous RUclips users downloaded our vids, blew them up so the timer was not visible, and re-posted them as their own content! We had to use content control to have the videos removed and shut down these channels. It's hard enough work preserving these films and posting them, without having to spend precious time dealing with policing thievery -- and not what we devoted ourselves to do. Love our channel and want to support what we do? You can help us save and post more orphaned films! Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm Even a really tiny contribution can make a difference.

Only the strongest survived in this tribe under these brutal conditions of covering the highest peaks of the Zagros and rivers to summer pastures with their flocks and families.
Isn't there a version of this with a soundtrack entirely made up of the traditional music of this nomadic tribe? I saw it on PBS or something a decade or more back.
Actually, yeah I believe it is - it supposedly derives from a type of grass called "teosinte" (no idea if I'm spelling that right, but that's how it's pronounced, anyway).
سلام .اینها اقوام و اجداد من بودند .نه علف به معنی ذرت نیست .هر گیاه روییدنی که از زمین سبز می‌کنه و گو سفندان میتونن ازش استفاده کنند رو میگن علف .اقوامی سخت کوش مهمان نواز در حال حاضر خبری از این نوع زندگی نیست فیلم مربوط به ۱۰۶سال پیش است
This man has confused the Bakhtiari Tribe with Arabs and Arabistan, absolutely wrong, They have nothing to do with Arabs and Arabia, They are a Kurdish Tribe and Kurds are not Arabs and don't live in Arabia and their settlement is Kurdistan and they speak Kurdish not Arabic.
Amazing! such strong determined people their resilience is unfathomable
The book, Spontaneous Evolution brought me to this documentary. My prayers go out to those who transitioned during this arduous journey.
این ها اقوام من هستند بیش از یک قرن از آن زمان گذشته مردمانی نجیب مهمان نواز و آریایی تبار ❤
nothing short of absolutely amazing adventure

As I sit on my ass watching this on a computer. Remember, someone set up a camera and filmed this entire journey.
Modern societies can provide for every necessity. Except for Necessity! When you have to accomplish something - in this case, survival - you soar!

Is corn grass?

This man has confused the Bakhtiari Tribe with Arabs and Arabistan, absolutely wrong, They have nothing to do with Arabs and Arabia, They are a Kurdish Tribe and Kurds are not Arabs and don't live in Arabia and their settlement is Kurdistan and they speak Kurdish not Arabic.
