In the remote highlands of Ladakh, where snow-kissed mountains meet ancient trails, lies Gya Village — a semi-nomadic settlement rooted in tradition but struggling to survive the rapid waves of modernity. Amid this fragile balance emerges an extraordinary story — that of Jigmet Yangdol, a fearless women entrepreneur from Ladakh, who is not just preserving a dying art but revitalizing an entire community.
With Unsung India Foundation this immersive Pashmina documentary traces Jigmet’s inspiring journey from a humble pastoral background to becoming the voice of sustainable change in the region. As the film unfolds, viewers are taken deep into the heart of the Ladakh Pashmina story — one of the world’s finest and most luxurious wools, derived from the rare Changthangi goats, reared by the dwindling shepherding communities of Ladakh.
Through Jigmet’s eyes, we witness the entire process — from the meticulous combing of Pashmina wool, its careful cleaning and carding, to its hand-spinning and traditional Pashmina weaving on wooden looms. These are not just skills; they are the lifeblood of a cultural identity on the brink of extinction.
But Jigmet’s mission is not only about reviving a craft — it’s about empowering women, creating local employment, and halting the shepherd community decline that threatens Ladakh’s soul. With her vision to build a community-based enterprise in Gya, she hopes to encourage families to stay rooted in their land and heritage rather than migrating to urban jobs that erode their identity.
Jigmet Yangdol’s talk doc is more than a documentary — it is about feminine leadership in the Indian Himalayas. It highlights the critical intersection of climate change, rural entrepreneurship, and cultural preservation. At its heart is a woman who defies the odds to protect not just wool, but culture and tradition.
Whether you're seeking a powerful women-led story from Ladakh, insights into sustainable mountain livelihoods, or an authentic tale of Pashmina wool-making, this talk-doc offers it all — deeply personal, visually poetic, and globally relevant.
