Calling Wind? Ancient Harvest Ritual in China's Deep Mountains

Deep in the mountains along the China-Myanmar border, the Wa people still preserve a truly breathtaking tradition. In this documentary, we witness the sacred New Rice Festival—a 100% handmade, ancient harvest ritual completely untouched by modern machinery. From manually cutting the golden paddy to an awe-inspiring, high-altitude threshing technique designed to "summon the wind," every step reveals their deep respect for nature and ancient agricultural wisdom. Experience the raw beauty of traditional farming and the unique culture of the Wa tribe.
