Angry Spirits

"Angry Spirits" takes a poetic look at a global challenge: the threat to indigenous peoples from environmental degradation caused by min­ing and climate catastrophe. The film follows the quest for healing of Ainur, a young mother from a traditional herding family, who was plunged into extreme poverty after the collapse of Communism. Now living in Mongolia's modern capital, Ulaanbaatar, she works as a dancer in a strip club. Ainur feels unwell, as if haunted by spirits. Ainur follows the advice of a shaman and returns to the land of her ancestors. On her journey, she confronts the destruction of this once breathtaking landscape and the question of how to heal herself and her home.
