A tale of two women |
|
In an isolated region in the Northern Himalayas,
the lives of two young girls will be changed forever as they follow
the paths before them. Two girls, two ordeals, one goal—to become
women, according to the practices and customs of a little-known
tribe in Zanskar.
This month, Discovery Channel’s Becoming a
Woman in Zanskar recounts the moving story of a friendship shattered
by destiny, when two best friends have to part and leave their
families forever. Tenzin will be married to a man she hasn’t
chosen, while Palkit will become a nun.
