Yesterday I was flying between Toronto and San Francisco and when flying I love to watch foreign films, ones that I wouldn’t normally have access too.
On the flight yesterday I watched a film by a Canadian (so guess it’s not foreign to me) called Amal. It was a wonderful film and I’d like to share the title with you so you can seek it out.
The film is a story about a rickshaw driver (named Amal) in India who finds himself in a situation where he feels responsible for something that was actually an accident but was caused by his action. He feels guilty for creating the situation and tries everything to make it better. He is highly honorable when those around him are not. As a result of his honesty someone whom he does not know offers to give him something as a recognition, he is oblivious to this offer as a result of his inability to read.
That’s the best I can do without sharing the details, it’s a lovely movie and give you some insight into Indian culture.
Cheers
P
