In Tajikistan’s Pamir Mountains, horse riders battle in a centuries-old sport. Buzkashi! tells the story of three fascinating characters : Azam, Khursed et Azkar. The rivalries, alliances politics and intrigues surrounding the sport put ancient values of honour and integrity head-to-head with ego-driven hunger for power and wealth.
