“Singing on the Edge” follows Zola, a young Mongolian traditional Urtiin duu (“long song”) singer on the cusp of international stardom. Urtiin duu has a unique place in Mongolian history and culture — dating back 800 years — but the country’s recent embrace of the market economy and globalism has put this beloved art form in jeopardy. Through Zola’s own words and voice we pay witness to her personal story of hope, love, loss, resilience and determination in the face of unending odds.
