Stanzin Dorjai Gya is a multi-award-winning filmmaker and cultural leader from Ladakh. Born in one of Ladakh’s oldest villages called Gya, Stanzin lived a partly-nomadic childhood, spending half the month tending his family’s herd of yaks and cashmere goats in the mountains above 4000 metres, while attending school during the other half. As a teenager, he dropped out of conventional high school, and began attending Ladakh’s alternative school, SECMOL, where he discovered filmmaking.

Stanzin’s much loved documentary films generally deal with issues of climate change, cultural change and cultural survival. The Shepherdess of the Glaciers, which is probably his most celebrated work, is a touching portrait of his elder sister, Tsering, who still lives a nomadic life in the mountains, tending her family’s sheep and goats.

In this episode, Stanzin shares the gems of wisdom he’s gathered high in the Himalaya – from the interdependence of all beings to the profound inner peace borne of farming and shepherding. He talks about his films, his family, his village and his childhood. He questions and redefines education and intelligence, and reflects on Ladakh’s deep past, its modernisation, and its future.
