Strain Hunters | Kyrgyzstan Expedition - Full Documentary

The Strain Hunters embark on an extraordinary journey across Kyrgyzstan, traveling deep into Central Asia in search of rare and ancient cannabis landraces. Following historic routes once used along the Silk Road, the expedition moves from preparation and arrival to full immersion in some of the region’s most remote and challenging landscapes.
Along the way, the team passes through the world-famous Nomad Games, where traditional sports, horsemanship, and cultural ceremonies offer a powerful glimpse into the nomadic heritage that has shaped life in Central Asia for centuries. These encounters provide essential cultural context for understanding how people, landscape, and plants have coexisted across the region.
Leaving modern roads behind, the Strain Hunters cross rugged mountain terrain on horseback and navigate harsh high-altitude conditions, where wild cannabis has adapted over generations. As the expedition continues, the team encounters diverse cannabis populations growing across valleys, lakeshores, and mountainous regions, shaped by isolation, climate, and terrain.
Through careful observation and documentation, the Strain Hunters examine differences in plant structure, aromas, and resilience, while local perspectives shed light on traditional cultivation practices and the plant’s historical and potential medicinal significance. Set against breathtaking landscapes and ancient trade routes, this documentary offers a rare and immersive look at cannabis in one of its most historically important regions.
