About Grass
This moving documentary by Merian C. Cooper follows the journey of the Bakhtiari, an impoverished nomadic tribe in Iran, in their never-ending search for fresh grass for their herds. The tribe must traverse snow-capped mountain passes and hazardous terrain.

Is it OK to let your snakes sunbathe in the park?
By Stuart NicolsonBBC Scotland News
A man who takes his Snakes to sunbathe in his local park has sparked an online debate about what animals are - and are not - acceptable in public spaces.
The said it had been contacted by people who were worried about someone taking up to 20 of the reptiles to the Paisley Park .
It urged anyone who saw The Snakes to immediately call The Police .
Far from being horrified, many locals have defended The Snake owner, who appears to be a regular visitor.
They said The Man was clearly doing no harm and kept his Snakes Under Control at all times, and questioned why The Police would need to get involved.
Photos of The Man posted on Social Media show Him happily posing with The Snakes draped around his neck or standing close to them as they slithered on the Grass .
But The Friends group said in a post on its Facebook page that it had been told by The Local council that " no-One has permission to bring Snakes into Barshaw Park".
It added: " The Police request that if you see anyone in The Park with Snakes , please do not approach the person but call The Police on 101 and they will attend".
A Woman who responded to The Warning said she had met The Man a couple of times with her kids.
She added: " Really nice guy, answered the 1,001 questions we had about Snakes . The Snakes were Under Control and enjoying a little sunbathe.
" Can we show the same concern for people bringing their out-of-control dogs to The Park ? "
Another said The Snake owner was " really nice and full of smiles" and that any concerns about Him were " OTT".
One local wrote that The Man only had two Snakes when she saw Him - One around around his arm and another on the Grass - and that she had to warn a passing family not to stand on One of them.
Another pondered what newspaper headline writers would make of The Snakes going for a Ride On The Park 's miniature railway, while Someone Else chose to open up a Second Front in The Debate by claiming to have once seen people with ferrets in The Park .
Support for The Snakes was not universal, however, with potential safety issues also being raised And One Social Media user responding simply: " Nope. Ban it. Ban Him . No no no. "
Jamie Kinlochan, a regular visitor to Barshaw, told Bbc Scotland 's that Most People he had spoken to seemed happy to share their green spaces with Snakes - so long as they were not venomous.
He added: " People have, much To My surprise, been loving this.
" I had never thought about it before, but I guess when it come to things like dogs in The Park We Are kind of cool About That even though they can still present some form of danger if not well looked after or not treated properly.
" I guess people's arguments here are not any different and I probably agree with that. "
A spokesman for Renfrewshire Council confirmed: " Non domestic pets such as Snakes should not be brought into our parks and consent has not been provided for this to take place. "
