Documentarian Les Guthman came to class last night to speak about his documentary “Churning the Sea of Time: A Journey Up the Mekong to Angkor" (which was a really beautiful look at the Mekong River, which runs through Vietnam and Cambodia). He mentioned another documentary he had worked on, "Into the Thunder Dragon," about two unicyclists who had cruised through Bhutan in search of the
Yeti, the mythological giant Himalayan snow monster.
They had wanted to travel through Bhutan's
Sakteng Wildlife Park , which is dedicated to protecting the natural habitat of the Yeti. But they couldn't. Because it's
so dedicated to protecting the habitat of the Yeti that humans are not allowed there.
Seriously.
I pointed out that you can also find the Yeti at the Matterhorn in Anaheim, but I don't think he was listening.
