Snow Leopard by Pema Tseden is a poignant and visually arresting drama set in the remote Tibetan mountains. When a snow leopard breaks into a local herder’s sheep pen, killing nine rams, it sends shockwaves through the herder's family and the surrounding village. What begins as a devastating loss soon escalates into a larger cultural and environmental dilemma. As the herder and his family grapple with the financial and emotional fallout, the arrival of a TV crew eager to document the rare snow leopard brings the community's internal struggles into the public eye.
Through this incident, the film explores the complex relationship between humans and wildlife, balancing tradition with the pressures of modernity. As tensions rise, questions about nature conservation, loss, and coexistence emerge, painting a layered portrait of rural life on the Tibetan plateau. Snow Leopard is a thought-provoking meditation on the fragile balance between human survival and the forces of nature.
