Bheḍ Chāl (Herd Walk) is an award-winning documentary set in northern Karnataka that follows two Kuruba shepherds as they narrate their lived relationship with sheep, land and community.
Told entirely in the shepherds’ own voices, the film reveals a way of life where sustainability is not an idea to be debated, but a practice lived every day.
As Neelkanth Mama says,
“The dharma of water is to flow, of the sheep is to graze, and of the shepherd is to walk.”
At a time when pastoral communities are disappearing from public imagination, Bheḍ Chāl asks a simple yet profound question:
Why should the sheep walk?
