Come join Anthropology Club this week to watch the film Sweetgrass (2009) by visual anthropologists Ilisa Barbash and Lucien Castaing-Taylor. Sweetgrass showcases the ethnographic research by these anthropologists during the early 2000s, with the focus being sheep herders in the region of the Absaroka-Beartooth Mountains, Montana. The film is part documentary and part visual spectacle so if this sounds like something new and interesting to watch come by!

There will be free snacks and drinks!

Full Movie Synopsis:

"An unsentimental elegy to the American West, Sweetgrass follows the last modern-day cowboys to lead their flocks of sheep up into Montana’s breathtaking and often dangerous Absaroka-Beartooth mountains for summer pasture. This astonishingly beautiful yet unsparing film reveals a world in which nature and culture, animals and humans, vulnerability and violence are all intimately meshed." (Grasshopper Film)
