The ancient city of Gordion is located in the middle of Anatolia, the cradle of civilisations, and has a history dating back to the 1200s B.C. For thousands of years, its most abiding inhabitants have been shepherds and their herds… The shepherds of Gordion set out with the first light of dawn, just as their ancestors have been doing for millennia.
The documentary narrates the story of the shepherds and their herds at Gordion, where its inhabitants’ routine has remained unchanged for thousands of years, in and around this ancient city.
