Life in Hunza

An Anomalous Film

Might this film actually be from 1925? James A Fairgrieves, who headed the committee which edited this, was in charge of a film on a village in the Punjab in 1925. That might explain why a silent movie with English titles was produced in 1937.

Otherwise it&apos;s a film of anomalies. Hunza is in the northernmost part of Pakistan, bordering on Afghanistan and China, reachable, according to this movie, only by a narrow bridge a donkey can barely cross. The only sign of any life other than people are a yoked pair of bullocks owned by the local landowner. Otherwise it&apos;s backbreaking labor in an impoverished landscape. Even the credits, apart from Dr. Fairgrieves are unheard of outside of this film.
