Watching this short film was like dreaming or better; like reviving memories of a magical journey through India. In my case however – since I’ve not yet had the pleasure of experiencing India – it was like remembering a journey I never made. But it made me forget western society and opened my senses to another way of life – very refreshing. Filmmaker Brandon Li: “I tried to capture daily life in the Indian holy cities of Rishikesh, Haridwar, and Devprayag. This region lies in the foothills of the Himalayas where the Ganges River descends from the mountains. I visited not knowing what to expect, and I was both awed and saddened by the experience. The beauty of nature and the Hindu ceremonies contrasted with the poverty and suffering on the streets. The people I met had a high-spirited resilience that seemed to stem from surviving and maintaining their devotion through a challenging life”.
