Film - Riding Solo... a film about filmmaker Gaurav Jani's solo motorcycle
journey from Mumbai to one of the remotest places in the world, the Changthang
Plateau in Ladakh, bordering China. As a one-man film unit, he astonishes you,
filming the landscape he passes by and the people he interacts with, capturing
moments of beauty, pain, love, hardship, self-doubt and spiritual triumphs.
Talk - Sujatha Padmanabhan has been a member of Kalpavriksh since 1984. She is a trained special educator, her main engagement at Kalpavriksh has been in the field of environment education for children. Sujatha has been collaborating with the Snow Leopard Conservancy-India Trust, Leh for the last few years to help develop an environment education programme focused on Ladakh’s wildlife for children. A resource kit for teachers titled “Ri Gyancha” was recently published based on the work that she was involved in. This was released by His Holiness The Dalai Lama in July 2010 in Sumur village in Nubra valley. Sujatha has also authored two story books for children which includes “Ghost of the Mountains” published by Kalpavriksh.
Cause - The money raised during and after screening was used to disseminate the programme to newer areas through teacher training. This was undertaken in both Kargil and Leh districts of Ladakh with an effort to reach out to government school teachers as well as teachers of private schools. It is our desire to be able to extend this to as many children in high cold desert regions in our country.
