Experiencing Interruptions?

Passage to Kashmir

This travel doc takes you off the beaten path to explore the hidden corners of Jammu and Kashmir under Indian administration, venturing beyond the prevalent narratives of conflict and tension. We dive into the rural and border areas, breaking the stereotype associated with the region's notoriety for violence and geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan. The film takes us on a journey into the heart of the tribal and indigenous communities through the mystical Pirpanjal mountain range of the lower Himalayan region. Our expedition leads us through the enchanting beauty of the land, local cultures and traditional music that fills the air. The short documentary is an intimate exploration of the untold stories and enduring beauty that flourish beyond the shadows of conflict.
