Smiles From Off The Road

Smiles From Off The Road

Chinmaya Dunster continues his career as a filmmaker. His video ‘Smiles from off the road’ shows footage of people filmed during his travels in Uttarakhand Himalayas and Kerala (India). In the background we hear his guitar.

Smiles From Off The Road - Part 1

Smiles, laughter, innocent trust, spontaneous welcome to strangers - these are the hallmarks of people in India living ‘off the road’, and untouched by Western ‘values’.

Perhaps our crime, drug and depression-ridden Western society might have something to learn from them?

Filmed in Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve, Uttaranchal Himalayas, India in June 2008, this video shows some of the most inspiring smiles you’ll ever be likely to see!

Smiles From Off The Road - Part 2 (Treasuring The Girl Child)

Despite the wonderful smiles, the girlchild in India works much harder than her brothers: fetching wood and water, caring for younger siblings.

She is given less to eat, poorer education and has a far higher chance of dying young, or being aborted as a fetus.

For the sake of smiling children - let’s treasure the girlchild!

Filmed in Uttarakhand Himalayas and Wyanad, Kerala.
