Loved working on this amazing project on the last Wakhi Shepherdesses of Hunza for BBC. I am thankful to all the Shepherdesses (Afroz Numa, Bano Begum, Thai Bibi, Sakina Bano, Nor Begum and Pak Daman) for expressing themselves, sharing their stories and travelling with us from Shimshal village to the Pamir plateau. These people are true ambassadors of the Indigenous Wakhi community's heritage and Culture. I feel lucky to be from the Indigenous Wakhi community.

I belong from Gilgit shina region , this is the story of all Gilgitis . Our grand parents were majority sphered , they sacrificed their lives to earn for us to make our lives better . Today GB people have highest literacy rate . My grandfather and mother lived exactly like that but they raise a very educated family where we have engineers and lawyers etc❤❤

So much diversity in my country I never knew love my people and their unique way of life, more power to these iron ladies who changed the fate of their children

I'm from Azad Kashmir, and NEVER knew how diverse my country is! Long live our diversity!

Wow, for 88 years old woman to do shepherding is amazingly tough. May she lives well, happy and blessed all the rest of her life. ❤🙏

These women are so impressively strong. When the one woman was telling the story of how her children died, I wanted to remind her of that, that she is still here.

Nice to hear the son and daughter praise their mother for her hard work.

These women are True Queens!

Thank you BBC for featuring the stories of our mother's. I belong to the valley and proud that my mother is also part of this documentary. Today what we have achieved is because of our mother's hardworking and dedication for the betterment of our lives. Loved to watch this documentary

Americans need to take note: these women are superheroes!

I am in love with Wakhi language, really impressive language and strong people (Women), I hope all those countries who have Wakhi citizens will help this minority preserve their life style and tradition and never perish!

Very similar to Tibet and Ladakh. Reminds me of my homeland. After all, we border one another. Beautiful people and culture.

The Resilience and Fortutide of Women❤

I belong to a sheperding community from South India. This story is similar to some aspects my own grandparents had gone through and recited to us. I appreciate these people, their hard work and their closeness to nature. I feel sad that we no longer can sustain what they have gone through. Time waits for none, we can just get the gentle whiffs of their way of life through videos like these. Appreciate your efforts team BBC.

Bless Annar- So sprightly and nimble-footed.

Hats off to the entire team for showing this side of Gilgit - Baltistan to the world. The stories have been captured so beautifully that I feel both happy and sad at once. May Allah bless these ladies. Lots of love from Gilgit ❤😊

I am a proud of my ancestors, Wakhi is not limited within Pakistan, It's an international language including Chinq, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Russia.

I belong from same Area then I completed my school & went to Peshawar for future education when I completed my graduation I come to United Kingdom for masters degree now my master degree as well completed But I don't forgot my culture and tradition 😢

Just Amazing... How resilient these woman are.

I love the holding hands and dancing at the end. They have probably done that since childhood. Made me miss my cousins. Their bonds must be very strong towards one another. It is a beautiful thing.
