Four men from a nomadic Tibetan tribe undertake their annual, ritualistic pilgrimage to a sacred salt lake. Salt gathered in this traditional fashion will be sold to provide the economic livelihood of the tribe for the coming year. The journey, necessary for the group's survival, also incorporates a number of rituals necessary for their culture to survive in the modern world.
The Saltmen of Tibet was directed by Ulrike Koch.
The Saltmen of Tibet runs for 1h 48min, and was released in 1997.
