Filming the musk deer is like chasing a ghost. Found deep within the snow-covered Himalayan mountains, the deer has been hunted for thousands of years for a powdery substance found in a pouch near its abdomen. Highly valued for its fragrance, this rare musk sells at a premium. Beyond its prized musk, we know little about the deer.
Filmmaker Neha Dixit and team embark on physically and emotionally challenging journeys to spot this elusive creature. Will they succeed?
