In the remote taiga of northern Mongolia live The Dukha, one of the last groups of nomadic reindeer herders in the world. Five-year-old Tuvshuu and his sisters help with their family's herd at the summer camp where the winds are cool and there’s plenty of grass. Their way of life and knowledge of reindeer has been passed down for millennia, just as the shamanic myths surrounding their culture. With fewer than 40 Dukha families left in the world, Tuvshuu will have some big decisions ahead.

Zach has worked on many feature films including THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW, BLACKKKLANSMAN, and THE BIG SICK. He’s edited various shorts highlighted by the FUNNY OR DIE video series, WHAT'S NEXT FOR JACK ANTONOFF, directed by Mike Birbiglia, and the innovative VICE NEWS TONIGHT for HBO. In between feature films, Zach has made numerous short documentaries about outsider/self-taught artists, an interest he developed at a very young age.
