The setting is the misty blue mountains of the Hindu Kush in North Pakistan. Above towers snow-capped Mount Tirich Mir, below are the green and fertile valleys of the Kalash. The Kalash tribe have lived here for hundreds, perhaps thousands of years; an independent culture and religion, a lost kingdom of their own surrounded by a sea of Islam.

The women are unveiled and wear flowing brown robes decorated with cowrie shells. The men work in sparkling, flooded rice paddies terraced out of the hillside. Everywhere is the sound of mountain streams and the music of flutes.
