Lifelines

// commissioned documentary

I travelled to the Indian Himalayas with Jane Dyson, a geographer and anthropologist then based at the University of Oxford, to make this short film about social change.

In a village 2500m high in the Indian Himalayas, life is changing. Many of the younger generation seek to chart a new course, different from those of their parents. This is one man’s story of juggling responsibilities and fighting for dreams, both for himself and for his community.

More information can be found on the film website.

In 2014, Jane, Makar Singh and I were able to visit Kathmandu to screen the film at a festival there.
