Voices From the Altai
Posted by: Toby McLeod

The Altai. © Christopher McLeodWhen we filmed in the spectacular Altai Republic of Russia in 2007, U.K. native Joanna Dobson kindly helped us with translation. Joanna is fluent in Russian and has moved to the Altai to work on various projects to help preserve traditional culture and protect sacred sites. Joanna reports on her work via a great website and blog, Altai Pilgrim.

We highly recommend a new short film about Altai environmental problems associated with tourism, which Joanna helped translate from Russian to English. Produced by Lena Chevalkova, the film is titled The Pines of Askat. Please check it out!
