In the summer of 2004, Chinese filmmaker Diedie Weng followed American scholar Carol Bliss and Mosuo writer Lamu Gatusa to collect traditional Mosuo folk songs. The documentary Mosuo Song Journey presents their journey through that culture while recording the singing of different generations of Mosuo people. As one woman says, "We really sing with passion. We only sing when we mean it. If we don't mean the words, we don't sing." As their world is being changed by tourism, pop culture, and education, one hopes they still find meaningly words to sing.
