Description |
Indian farm workers and their wives and children pose impassively for the camera. After an oxen pulled cart we see two dead Bengal tigers being carried shoulder high through a village. A team of acrobats perform to drummers with small boys being held above head height, climbing up poles and walking on a tightrope. A goat-herder then ploughing a field with oxen followed by village scenes in the Himalayas. The film ends with views from a ship including flying fish. |
