NPR's Bob Mondello reviews a documentary film about camel herders in Mongolia: The Story of the Weeping Camel. The project began with two student filmmakers looking for interesting story to tell.
Bob Mondello, who jokes that he was a jinx at the beginning of his critical career — hired to write for every small paper that ever folded in Washington, just as it was about to collapse — saw that jinx broken in 1984 when he came to NPR.
