Meerman is quite an intriguing documentary that takes you deep into the heart of Toktobek-Sai, a village that’s quite literally surrounded by water. The film revolves around a remarkable figure, Meerman apa, who, despite lacking formal medical training, uses her knowledge of herbs and some kind of innate gift to heal the community. It’s fascinating how she’s managed to assist over a hundred women over three decades. The pacing of the film feels very much like a slow river, flowing gently yet persistently, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of this unique setting. The practical effects are almost non-existent, but that’s part of its charm. It’s very much a human story, grounded in nature and the resilience of people.
