Anne F. Broadbridge: A day in the life of a Mongolian queen (2019x7)

: 17, 2019

As dawn breaks over a moveable city of ten thousand yurts, Queen Boraqchin readies her kingdom for departure to their summer camping grounds. While her husband, the grandson of Genghis Khan, is out raiding, she juggles the duties of managing flocks, family and a city of thousands. Anne F. Broadbridge outlines a day in the life of a Mongolian queen. [Directed by Els Decaluwe, narrated by Bethany Cutmore-Scott, music by Vincent Groos].
