Fascinating film that says it all really..............

I've  been interested in Ladakh and its culture for a very long time now, since I read Helena Norberg-Hodge's book  Ancient Futures - Learning from Ladakh.  A link to this wonderful film was put up today in a group I belong to on Facebook - it's well worth watching, there is so much to be learned from it. I liked the fact that as well as showing the general greed and consumerism, poverty, loneliness and isolation that can be experienced in the west, she took time to show the two woemn some of the positive aspects too - the farmers' market, the ethical shop, etc.
A real eye-opener of a film from which everyone can learn something, a joy to watch.
