Juri Vella MaailmYuri Vella's World
A documentary about Juri Vella, the writer and social activist of the Forest Nenets living in West Siberia, who left his home village ten years ago to lead the life of a reindeer herder in the taiga. The little, unique world he created was meant to offer protection against the effects of alcoholism and unemployment which sadly threatens the indigenous peoples of Siberia. To give his grandchildren a proper education in their natural environment and teach them reindeer herding skills, he created an elementary school in his winter camp. Unfortunately, Juri Vella’s world is little more than an oasis of traditional lifestyle in one of the largest oil-producing regions of Russia.
