- Filmmaker Mike Magidson, a native Californian living in Paris, and French anthropologist Nastassja Martin have just landed in Petropavlovsk, the capital of Kamchatka. Over recent years, Nastassja has developed close ties with an Even family, former reindeer herders, and today, she is back to introduce her baby daughter to them.
From the capital, they set off on a 700km trip through majestic inhospitable landscapes at -30°, crossing a mining and military zone and completing the last stretch on snowmobiles. Finally, they arrive in Tvaian, a hunting camp cut off from all means of communication. Daria and her family live there in tune with their traditions and in a spiritual relationship with their environment.

I started crying when she chanted. It was like her way of preserving a song and dance on top of asking the ancestors to give her sister a safe trip back to her home. We can not lose the ancestors of our lives. Keep their memories alive in your heart. These are people that know how to be patient and happy. Even if their lives can be harsh.
Me too wtffffffff
Yes. They are precious.
I felt it as well.
thank you for sharing your thoughts, because my English is limited, I have to Google it to understand part of the story in this lovely video.
It shows us that even with all the amenities we have it doesn't guarantee happiness. if you pay attention you see the family unity and eternal gratitude they have for what nature provides for their family. We all could learn a valuable life lesson from this documentary. I was moved by this video it reminds me our ancestors roots and how survival was the name of the game, nowadays people lose they're minds if the CZcams stops working!
"Even the dead are from your family." Beautiful. Daria is a stunning human being. Earlier, in the cabin, when she began to sob after re-enacting a chant...well, it was profoundly moving. It was an honor to join this family, however briefly.
I’m fascinated with the indigenous people of this part of the world. What beautiful cultures and lives they have.
This made me cry, such a beautiful and calm life in a noisy world, thank you for making this amazing video
I think I should watch this every few months just to calm myself, and remember what is true and beautiful in the world.
@@diane9247I thought exactly the same….it’s just mesmerising & so serene
Tanks for the filmmakers' time & devotion.Must of been
an eye opener 😊
Great documentary I wish it was longer.
I was there in the september 2019. Kamchatka is a jewel. Nice memories for ever. Thank you wery much Russia. Kindly, friendly people. Best regards from Slovakia. I will return.
These are great films of this family, i cant get enough. I myself migrated to the jungles of central America and live off the land as much as possible. I dont think i could do it in these cold snowy winters tho, i understand the quiet man of the family that used to live in society with abunch of lost people fending for nothing but money to eat, sleep and survive in a concrete souless world. Blessings to all our ancestors that lived like this since the beginning of time up until a 100 years ago. ✌🏾🙏🏾❤️
You take me there, the forest, and I may not want to come back to city life. You taught me something that I have been looking for all my life, now I am 72 and in good health, and I want to be like you...the happy nomad at last. Amen.
Thank you. I am 85 and have learned so much. So real, so unlike Hollywood.
Thank you very much !
Iam 87 and lived watching it- tears
These people live such a peaceful life, they are so PURE, work so hard for there heat and their next meal, but at the end of the day it makes you feel so good, so I see why they live this kind of life, no bills coming in the mail, no hustle and bustle of the everyday grind, no traffic ,it may be a hard life but they have each other to depend on, I applaud them.
I just intended to check out the video for a moment, the next thi ng I know its almost the end of it. These marvelous people. I know I could never live like this but these people can not lose this culture. What a way of life. Beautiful scenery, beautiful peolpe and I pray they are given and find everything that they need. Beautiful. Thank you so much!!!
Hahaha same way with me
I find it amazing that humans could live in such a challenging climate. I dont think I would last more than a few years , still a beautiful place and beautiful people of Russia. I wish them long and happy lives . Much love ❤️ 🙏 from usa
Aussumvideo these people are heroes well done!!!!!!!
True. Videos can't really show what it's like in winter when it's 20-23 hours of night for months. Limited or no electric, people having to entertain themselves in very tight quarters. The importance of other people is with you always.
@@MrWaterbugdesign Actually, Kamchatka is not that far North. The Northern (almost uninhabited) edge is at about Finnish Oulu latitude, the capital, Petrpovalovsk is the same latitude as Hamburg; so not that much of 20-23 hours of night for months :)
If you could make it a few years you’d be able to make it indefinitely your body would adjust after that amount of time to the cold 🥶 temperatures
Years? How about a few hours?
One of the best documentary, ancestors are there everywhere even thought you think otherwise
Such a beautiful Family & I was so touched when she was singing & got Emotional 🥰 Love that she’s proud of her Culture
Hey guys. it’s really funny video. I was born in Kamchatka. I visited a lot of country. Actually i can say that Kamcha one of the best place for traveling. Ocean, vulcano, beers, haha. We glad to see any people and tourists 🫡
So great ,may God continue to give that family good health and strong life
15:18 The fish being caught then saying "thanks for freeing me up from this frozen water 😭"
I Loved Daria's Spiritual song and dance of her Culture it was Beautiful, It reminded me of songs, and Powerful dances of Native American Dances, and Songs, during Pow Wow, through DNA, many Native American people trace their Ancestry back to the same areas in Russia, many customs are simular
So very glad this brave lady came back to her land to go back to the land of their heritage.
Please visit them often for us to see them .
Wonderful documentary!! I hope you can go back again someday to see how these people are!
These people are amazing. They live off the land and that is all they have and they are sooooo happy with their lot in life. Amazing scenery and people
Love this. Reminds me very much of my homeland in northern Canada. If you lived in the northlands, it has a way of calling you back home. Home where you belong and, it will haunt you until you return. It is very hard to explain.
35:31 I don't care what anyone says, THOSE HUSKIES LOOK COLD! They don't even have a basic shelter to block the wind.
You're right - I'm sorry that they are pretty much living off the land, but - I think there seems to be no excuse to keep the dogs in these very harsh conditions. In some states, it is illegal to keep a dog chained up in the cold, where it doesn't have a shelter.
That is just pure ignorance, stupidity, or cruelty.
Not watching this foolishness / and or cruelty... ( FYI - I went to the comments and saw your suggestion, then went directly to watch for the outdoor dogs - horrendous. Did not watch the rest.)
Agree with you poor dogs😢
They didn’t die did they?
@@meredithheath5272they are used to living in cold weather, they are not dying and the owners know exactly what they are doing and have been doing for decades if not centuries.
I’m sure they are fine but you would expect a hut or something!
This is N Amazing Way of Life......
God's Blessings 2U ALL
Thank you. I didn’t intend to watch it all but was transfixed. Such a hard place to live but so beautiful. They are clearly drawn to that land and way of being. Very spiritual. We all share so much in common yet can be worlds apart. I hope they catch plenty of sable and fish and the reindeer herd grows larger and their snow mobiles go on forever 😀🙏🏻
Daria's so beautiful, her song draws you into forever.
I wish I had the means to travel. The first time I heard of Kamchatka was the vodka with that name in the store at which I work 😂. I wish I could travel enough to witness the evolution of Humankind, the way populations naturally blend into the next with no regard for artificial borders, countries, and laws ❤❤❤
Slice documentaries never disappoint ❤❤❤
@@Shadow-of-Mampang 🤣🤣
@@Shadow-of-Mampang they license them 🤣 but igy
This is an amazingly beautiful part of the world, almost like another planet with its towering mountain ranges, many active volcanoes, pinewood forests and great wildlife. Would very much like to visit some day in the future.
I just hope they don’t get sick and survive the freezing temperatures,amazing how they live.
9:15 - The snowmobiles are overheating !? The Buran snowmobiles (twin-track) are about 40-50 years old. It is amazing that they still use these old Burans in such isolated places.
Russian engineering is not about planned obsolescence !!!
Так там и ружье ИЖ которому 50 лет и все еще работает
Amazingly beautiful! so many thanks for making and sharing!
What a serene and beautiful insight. Thank you very much!
This is a very touching video to my heart 🙏✝️💓💓🙏May God richly bless them alway !
I'm spending New Year's Eve watching life in the forest. Thank you for bringing this touching and peaceful video to many viewers. Wonderful. 🎉 🇺🇸
You cannot rush the rhythm of the forest, you must go with it.
oh the poor dog🥺
Why can't they bring them inside or at the very least, build them a fricking dog house? Pisses me off, sorry.
I agree. Many of these documentaries showing nomadic groups who herd reindeer in equally bad climates, have little houses for their dogs and /or they bring them into their chums or yurts.
It's cruel to have them out in such freezing conditions.
Very Very Wonderful !! Thank You !! i Wish city people could Understand this. World Would be Happier !!!
Great documentary. This is an area similar to where I live in the Monashee Mountains of BC. Same trees, same fish, same reindeer (we call them caribou), same winter climate. The only differences are that I have electricity from the grid, and live only 20 kms from the nearest village and have internet. Last winter it was -32 Celsius at night at this time, and by February there was 108 cm of snow on the ground. This winter is so far been so warm and snowless, barely freezing at night. I sold my snow mobile and snow blower back in November (haha).
lovely and very well narrated documentary .... and full of emotions and love for nature
Home is where your heart dwells!
Beautiful and interesting documentary, thank you ❤
What a beautiful video
Ensorcelant ,vraiment.J'esperais qu'il ne se terminerait jamais ce documentaire.
Wow, what a peaceful place to be, I think 🤔 I could get used to that way of life. Thank all of Daria’s & her family for letting us be a small part of her family. God bless you all & safe journeys. 😊
Thank you for this beautiful program.
Thank you and Much Love from the Philippines.❤
Incredible film. Loved it!
Loved the feeling of peace
thank you for posting this.
Wow! One of the best documentaries you'll see.
Thank you for making this video through which we might share in the lives of these nomadic people. We are all one, but we often forget the richness of that oneness. ❤
This was absolutely beautiful sublime, and fascinating documentary. Thank you
I watched this 3 times in a row… I love seeing how people live in ways we may not understand but yet come to understand
Thank you for your comment, don't hesitate to subscribe, we have new documentaries every week ! ;)
Wonderful People, so natural and in harmony with nature and the environment they have chosen to live in.
Truely beautiful. . . The people, the forest, the skies, the music ... Thank you very much !!! This freedom these beings talk about resonates so deeply inside ...
one of the best of the best documentary SLICE never let look away until the end thanks for showing us the life of someone who lives far far from us

I enjoyed this documentary so much. What a peaceful life these people live. Dying with envy.
Such a beautiful content! Thank you very much!
Very wholesome, i love this. They have what i aspire. I reallt wish i had more experience in the wild but im also scared of being alone in a dark forest.
Feel sorry for the dogs chained up outside…
Me too!
Poor dogs🥺
They are cruel !
It's MORE than Freedom, and Nobody bothers you, IT'S SPIRITUAL
That is incredible to see people live in such harsh conditions. I have a 25K snowmobile and would be nerves going to the places they go with such old equipment.
❤ Mr 880881 im going to google your user name and see what what google says about you....
That’s one hell of a life! But you are relatively free! Freedom is expensive! Freedom is life! They are doing what you have to!
37:06 poor dogs 😢 why can’t they build them a quick makeshift shelter? Just because they have a thick coat doesn’t mens they don’t feel that cold wind. Why do they even have those dogs for that matter? They didn’t use them to hunt once in the whole video and they’re just chained up. Just sad.
Speechless! What an experience. Thank you!🙏
Muy bonito, muchas gracias! 💙✌️🤗
An excellent, respectful, interesting and captivating documentary. The little one somehow brought it all together. Thank you

Can we imagine such simple people lives in the extreme Norths of our Globe!! -30 degrees means frozen land's every where !! Let them live in extremely difficult area's, fighting with the nature 👍👍
Such a beautifully executed documentary!
Thank you very much, please subscribe if you want to see more contents like this !
I can understand that forest is calmer than living in the cities or even villages. I hope you move one day and find calm surroundings. We should not tell people what is good life and where to live.
Love the whole documentary 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 love to ivan darvia cousins and everyone from kashmir india.. Thanx slice for this beautiful documentary.. Waiting for more in comming days..
This came up in the suggestions, very interesting video.
This is so pure, so authentic, the truth of life, got me totally excited, felt such deep feelings, awe, thankful.
Outstanding documentary 👌👏🔥
Very beautiful. I hope they stay well and have a happy life.
beautiful video !
thank you for this film. it is soo beutiful so as the people
thank you so much for this it was good for my hart and sole 😂
That's one heck of a cool baby!
Awesome documentary❤
The happiness and community I see within these people is amazing! They seems happy and know the duties to survive. It seems like a hard life, yet they are humble and happy. America has no idea of this concept, we continually fail our people with social stats and material items. This life seems way more fulfilling. ❤
i spent three weeks in Petropavlovsk in the winter - it never got too cold cuz it was on the coast. it was party central - big time drinking and fun atmosphere! and Siberian ladies are soooo good looking and 'congenial' - best vacation ever ...
Thanks for the update and let us see another world
27.00 to 27.11, it says, Quote:".......Nastasia confided that what fascinates her more than anything else in Ivan and Daria's decision to return to life in the forest, is that their choice might be just reawakening the roots of a culture, they nearly lost." All I can see, (and one doesn't need special 'aura reading skills' to see that), is that Daria, her children, and the cousins have a really tough life. I don't know which kind of Anthropology, Nastasia is here pursuing, but it feels like a void that she compensates with pseudo-philosophy to satisfy some empty intellectual theories.
The lives of people like Daria must be looked at from many angles, but the main point here is that survival just takes its toll. I do not know which other options they have, but this would be a point to explore and by doing so, physically and psychologically helping where help is needed. Does Nastasia know how tough the Russian military is? Clearly, Ivan opted out and then headed back to the forest. But why? The questions, he is being asked, are meaningless. All I see is his sad face. Why? Because he does not have many other options. So what about exploring new options for this family rather than 'using' them for some academic research under the pretense of introducing the little daughter.
As I said, I do not know anything about these tribes, families, their history, or the options they have. This is something that could have been explored in such a documentary rather than exploiting the harshness of their lives and battle for survival. They know, the film crew and Nastasia will leave, whilst they are left fighting. It is ridiculous to mystify such struggle by this pseudo-ideologistic phrase of 'reawakening the roots of a culture they nearly lost".
Is it that harsh though? When it is cold the air has a higher density of oxygen. There is little chance of getting the flu, or Covid, or a bad cold in the remote forest. The caribou meat is clean, does not need to be cooked, there are fresh plentiful rainbow trout. The only really tough aspect are the long nights from November to February. I live in the same latitude in the Monashee Mountains, have to keep a fire going to heat the home, though I am connected to the power grid. Last year at this time it was -32 Celsius here during the night. I spent 30 years employed as a professional forester, actually it was longer when all other jobs outdoors are included. I am fortunate, I hated living in a large city, the daily routine, noise, crime, traffic got to me. The most oppressive situation now are the hot dry days from June to September when it reaches temperatures of up to 49.6 C as it did nearby at Lytton, BC, in June 21, 2021. I have multiple science degrees, a large library, though I have read all my anthropology texts, and live on the edge of two large provincial parks. It is much easier to work and breath when it is - 20 C, providing there is not too much wind. This winter here, it is barely freezing, El Nino, maritime amplification.
Thank you for your hard work. Really enjoyed.
The reindeer look strong and healthy.
When I saw the dogs outside without a shelter and no one care about them I couldn't continue watching this documentary 😢
Хорошее видео)
Beautiful to watch
I wouldn't last a week there. I absolutely loath snow and the cold, and she is wearing a tee shirt😮😮😮 OMG !!!
Wow now that's what I call 📞 living.😊
Thank you for watching ! Don't hesitate to subscribe ;)
Fascinating….. thank you for uploading. Is this their summer? I did not pick up on who the father of the baby is. How do they get gas if they are 100 km away from even the preserve gate?
Thank you very much for your great video
Living as a way of life. Who would've thunk
Beautiful
Wow such a wonderful and heartfelt documentary! Thanks so much for sharing it certainly touched me! ❤ and 🙏 to the families!
I am speechless 🙏 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
