Discover Mongolia's Ancestral Art : Cashmere | SLICE | FULL DOCUMENTARY
Christopher, a former music and movie producer, shuttles between Mongolia and Nepal, between herds of goats in the steppe and his cashmere workshops in Kathmandu. Married to a Mongolian princess and patron of a polo team in the steppe, Christopher makes one of the most beautiful cashmeres in the world. Each blanket takes six days to spin and weave by hand. In Mongolia, the cashmere industry provides work and income for a third of the population.

We need more owners like Chris actually takes the time to visit his workers and cares about their well-being. Awesome man ❤
An extra ordinary man wow!!! You are special!
Thank you sir , I'm American but I am amazed at the Mongolian People
A man to have love for others is definitely a man worth speaking of
Well said ❤
I am Indian but of Mongolian descent, I really really wish to visit our ancestors land someday in this lifetime.
Very interesting documentary! What an opportunity for Allegra to experience her mother's culture. Christopher seems like a very unique person. (Just as the narrator explained the sacred number 108, I looked and saw there were 1.08M subscribers.)
Slice 🤩 my stop over for any documentary to watch !
Thank you.Very beautyfull
Absolutely beautiful products. What a wonderful man.
Let's travel thru these ice frozen area's in these far far north !! Enjoy these un known area's of extremely cold 👍👍
Wow , Christopher is a very special man! Enjoyed documentary immensely.
Very inspiring! Thank you!
These people are heroes well done!!!!!!!
This is like a dream
An exceptional, modern, creative, and "nice" form of Western Colonialism. What an amazing life story of this man and his family. Allegra is a beautiful girl. Thanks for sharing.
No such thing! This is family to him and he brings his family prosperity. Colonialism is done by a government to overthrow and enslave for economic gain
Thank you so very much for sharing this with all of us! Incredible and with great respect 🙏🥰⭐️
Thank you for your support ! Don't hesitate to subscribe ;)
Love this. Looked up Mongolian Cashmere, $200. for a wrap. I will bet it is really nice.
Mongolians and Navajo have so much in common. Desert vs ice
I thought it was about KASHMIR! Anyway, it was wonderful
Cashmere !!!
@@user-sb1pe5ib2z It is Kashmir
@@annamamo3645 use your internet and intellect judiciously, the video is talking about cashmere not Kashmir. Read other threads/comments in the comment section.
These people look a darn sight cleaner than many of us lot . However do they wash and iron their clothes so perfectly out in the wilds absolutely beats me.
During the second world war my grandparents in Northern Italy had many Mongolians in their house. They were fighting with the Germans. My granmother said that they were all sleeping on her floor and that she had to use a sweeping brush to move them to be able to walk from one room to another. The only other thing that i remember my grandmother telling me about them ( i was a child at the time) was that they would say about themselves that they were ugly and that Italians were beautiful in comparison. So if any historians deny the fact that Mongolians were ever in Europe during WW2 it ISN'T TRUE !!!! They most certainly were !!!
The daughter is writing in English. She has obviously spent time in the U.S. as she has an American accent.
Thumb nail correction, cashmere instead kashmir, 😅
They changed
That is how it is known in the West.
Kris is a bit of a dandy. So am I. I definitely would have been decked out in Mongol finery if I were he.
After arriving in Mongolia 25 years ago ehy doesn't Christopher or daughter learned to speak the native language
The daughter probably speaks Nepalese as they lived in Kathmandu for many years, in addition to German and English. Christopher probably speaks some Mongolian, but not enough for business.
Sir Christopher, what's the name of your cashmere company in Nepal ? Your shop address to buy your product? Contact number? Tyvm!
True I was wondering
