I teach eastern geography and cultures and I have looking for a good video (or book) that would help my students to better understand what life is like in these areas.

Sorry forgot to add that I need material that is suitable for 7th grade students.

I teach 9th grade, and one of my students told me that a book called Bound is really good. I haven't read it, but I think the title refers to the old practice of binding women's feet, so it may not be what you want.
Oh, yes--try Shabanu (part of a trilogy, I think), the story of a girl growing up on the border between India and Pakistan.
All of these books are easy enough for seventh-graders.
