Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Grass is a 1925 documentary film directed by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack. It is a record of the nomadic Bakhtiari tribe of Persia, 50,000 strong with 500,000 animals, as they make their seasonal migration to better winter pasture land. The filmmakers followed the Bakhtiari over the rugged desert of western Persia, across the unbridged Karun River, and over the nearly 14,000 foot Zard-Kuh Mountains, on their way to finding grass for their animals.Grass was a hit, and allowed Cooper and Schoedsack to follow up with Chang, a similar documentary that was nominated for an Academy Award for "Unique and Artistic Production". That film also did well, which allowed Cooper and Schoedsack to make a little movie called King Kong.In 1976 another documentary, People Of The Wind, followed the Bakhtiari on the same journey in the other direction, to their summer pasture land.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Bookends: The Bakhtiari strike their tents at the start of the journey and put them up again at the end.

Crossing the Desert: Before even reaching the Bakhtiari, the filmmakers have to cross the "salt desert of Anatolia", and deal with sandstorms.
