SUMMARY:The Mosuo Sisters
DESCRIPTION:The Mosuo people in China make up one of the last matriarc
 hal societies in the world. Juma (25) and Latso (22) are sisters from 
 a remote Mosuo village tucked away in the foothills of the Himalayas. 
 The film follows the sisters as they navigate their way through two pa
 rallel worlds: China’s changing economy and Mosuo tradition. When th
 e sisters move to Beijing, to take jobs in the entertainment industry,
  their understanding of the world undergoes a profound shock. As one s
 ister says, “I felt like a tiny grain of sand.” The scale of the c
 ity is like nothing they have seen before. Even the idea of apartment 
 dwelling confounds the sisters. When they first arrive they think that
  each skyscraper tower is a single dwelling, only to discover the home
 s are divided up like an enormous beehive. Just as they’re settling 
 in, the economic downturn of 2009 forces Juma and Latso to postpone th
 eir dreams of higher education and modern jobs, and return to their vi
 llage.\n\nFor more information visit http://villagevancouver.org/event
