The Kurds of Khorasan - Iran

Mehdi, his wife and his mother while their kids are watching, are helping and treating one of the sick lambs. They want to scratch a part of the lambs body to get some blood out and eventually lower the lamb's blood pressure. They are one of the Kurdish nomadic families of Kermanj who were forced to migrate from their homeland to these areas to protect the eastern borders of Iran, and during this period they lost many of their cultural characteristics and behaviors. They are animal husbandry now and still speak Kurdish, but the clothes they wear are no longer Kurdish and their behaviors have completely changed and most of them do not even know where their original birthplace was.
