Persian Odyssey
The Migration of the Bakhtiari Narrated by Shusha
Every year the 500,000 members of the nomadic Bakhtiari tribes of Southern Iran make a journey of some 200 miles from their winter to their summer pastures, a journey which can be described as the most hazardous test of human endurance still undertaken year after year by an entire people.
