Songs of the Water Spirits

Directed by Nicolò Bongiorno

The filmmaker follows a number of Ladakhi in a multifacetted, varied film and portrays their engagement in original fashion. One demonstrates their opposition to the annual car rally in which wealthy Indians take part, another is proud of their ‘own private glacier’, and a third raises awareness with the production of documentaries. In addition, a French Tibetologist explains how the language is disappearing.
