Grass: A Nation's Battle for Life (1925)

This documentary follows the journey of the Bakhtiari, a poor nomadic tribe in Iran, as they herd their livestock up snow-covered mountain passes--barefoot--to get to the grazing lands on the other side of the mountains before their animals die from hunger.

Thanks for the explanation. The title makes it sound like a show about you-know-what.

There was a show called just "Grass" that was about weed. I don't know if it ever aired, the one time I tried tuning it in, Led Zeppelin was on.

I have been to many Led Zeppelin concerts back in my youth and I can assure you there was no shortage of weed nor grass at any venue. I can see how the two were easily confused.

Hey! I resemble that remark! Dazed and Confused. At Zeppelin concerts you didn't even need to bring your own weed, you could just inhale.
