[TOMT] Prairie Dog/Gopher film on an AirChina flight

I watched this film on an AirChina flight in November 2024 but missed the end so desperately trying to find it!

I think it may have been set in Mongolia and was by an independent production company. It was about a young boy who lived in a remote area with his family. Near the house were lots of gopher holes and the boy would sit with them and tried to tame/feed the gophers.

The footage of the gophers felt like a documentary but the main story was about the comfort the boy got from spending time waiting for the gophers to return.
