The art of the bards, singing story-tellers from the dawn of time, still exists today as a living, vital art form in many places on the globe. Here are three of them.

In India?s Rajastan, in African Mali and in trans-Himalayan Ladakh, the bard?s songs tell ancient tales that simultaneously entertain, entrance and teach the stories specific to each culture, the truths universal. Counterpointing and illuminating the musician?s skill, the film shows us the ancient tales themselves, perfectly acted, brought to life with an immediacy only the cinema can render.
