Tonight on TCM 9p.m. GRASS - amazing movie of Persian Herdsmen in 1925 moving
their entire tribe (like thousand of people), animals, etc. across huge mountain ranges, raging rivers, etc. It's made by the people who did the original King Kong. It's silent and very powerful. One of the most amazing films I have ever seen. After seeing it I had to immediately order it for my cousin's husband who's family is originally from Persia.

Seriously, don't miss this wonderful documentary. This journery will AMAZE and DELIGHT you.
