Himalaya, directed by Eric Valli (Ages 13+)
(In Tibetan with English subtitles)
In a tiny village nestled almost 15,000 feet high in the Dolpo region of Nepal, Himalaya tells the story of a generational power struggle for the leadership of a mountain enclave. Played out between the proud old chieftain and the headstrong caravanners as they make their annual salt trek across the Himalayas, the journey becomes both an ancestral duel and a battle between man and nature.Please register at the Circulation Desk (514-989-5299) More information and 2008/9 dates
