Happy People: A Year in the Taiga (2010)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1683876/

Classic Werner Herzog. An odd slice of life from the edge of civilization, this look at the lives of trappers in Siberia is engaging and interesting, with not too much detail. The dialogue comes almost entirely from the trappers, but much more is told from the visuals and the movement through the seasons and along the river. Most impressive - the dog who runs 150kms in a day and half. Not as impressive as Dick Proenneke, but still a very hardy group living very hard lives.
