Camel Caravan is a film flooded with amazing archery stunts performed in a historical setting. Caravans transporting huge amounts of goods across China are hindered by both thieves and hazardous weather. (spoiler alert) Added to this is a new danger, a group of Chinese government riflemen searching for camel caravans smuggling for the Russians. These over zealous riflemen sometimes viciously attack and kill everyone in the caravan before checking to see if they were actually smuggling. This sad adventure story is humanized by a romance and by the relationship between the caravan leader and his loyal apprentice. I saw the film a month ago and this haunting story still clings in my mind weeks later. I highly recommend Camel Caravan for the adventure story, great photography, and wonderful stunt work.
