WELCOME TO MONGOLIA

The world seen from the ring

An episode from the series WELCOME TO

Synopsis

Endless steppes, yurts, and a vast sky: Mongolia is a country untouched by time.

Three rugged sports have shaped the lives of its people for centuries: horse riding, archery, and bokh, the Mongolian form of wrestling. In bokh, there are no weight categories or time limits: the first to touch the ground loses and a match can last up to three hours.

A simple, ancestral, and relentless sport.
