Nomad
(The Warrior):
Kazakh at the Theater!
 Simply put,
Nomad (The Warrior) is a film about a young Kazakh boy who
grows up to unite the warring tribes of Kazakhstan. However,
this movie is so much more than that. This movie, filmed
entirely in Kazakhstan using Kazakh actors, is a glimpse into
the cultural makeup of historical Kazakhstan. While not intended
to be a historically accurate, Nomad does interweave aspects of
Kazakhstan’s origin into the story while wonderfully
encapsulating the national pride that the Kazakh people are
known for. It is a graphic portrayal of the struggle that
ultimately resulted in a unified Kazakhstan.
This film is
highly recommended for anyone interested in learning more about
the history of Kazakhstan, it’s culture, and it’s people.
– Jeff Morris,
Kazakhstan Program Coordinator and Social Worker
Plot summary: Nomad is set in
18th-century Kazakhstan, a vast, pitiless region of austere and
terrible beauty, and tells the story of a boy destined to one
day unite the three warring tribes of the country who have
survived and fought for centuries—against invaders, against
their formidable enemies and amongst themselves. Nomad is
Kazakhstan’s official entry, Best Foreign Language Film for the
79th Academy Awards. Directed by Oscar-winning director Milos
Forman.
Rated R for violence, not child
appropriate
World Premier: March 16, 2007 in
limited theaters, March 30 expanded theaters
Watching the movie might spike a
question:
If I am interested in learning a language prior to
travel to Kazakhstan, should I learn Kazakh or Russian? As
everyone within Kazakhstan does speak Russian, it is wise to
begin learning some of the basic Russian words in order to
clearly communicate in country. When you have submitted your
dossier, Children’s Hope will mail you a long list of
appropriate and useful phrases to learn prior to travel. Below
find a few to brighten your mind and swiften your wait:

Families are encouraged to purchase an Oxford Russian dictionary
and phrase book prior to travel and to check the local library
for Russian language tapes. Hearing the language will help with
pronunciation, but as you would not likely use them in country,
they are not necessary for purchase. Happy learning!
