WIR SIND AUS KASCHMIR

Germany / 1968 / 10'
Filmed in the Kashmir Valley, where the imposing Himalayan mountains rise, the documentary captures and illustrates the customs and traditions of the Shiites, who still atone for the sins of their brothers in faith, who some thirteen centuries ago committed the grave sin of lack of piety. Every year, the Shiites renew the day of experience with rituals of mortification and blood.
