The Film
|
In November of 2007, Singer/songwriter Bruce Cockburn, USC Executive Director Susan Walsh, and filmmaker Robert Lang traveled to Nepal to make a film in support of USC Canada.
The film was completed in 2008. You'll find screening dates, times and places on this site.
Bruce and Susan made a similar trip in 1987 and we've got the pictures! Here's one of Bruce.

Today, we have an audio blog from filmmaker Robert Lang, from a tiny village somewhere in the mountains of Nepal. (Bob tells me Bruce has a bit of cold and is not in good voice. He believes Bruce will be able to do another blog tomorrow.)
We asked Bob to speak as loudly as possible, but he was loath to do so because it was evening in the village, and all the villagers were already asleep. He didn't want to disturb them, especially, as he told us, because they had been so hospitable and welcoming. So... this blog is a bit hard to hear, but no impossible. We hope you enjoy it.
Part 1: Bob talks about life in the village (click PLAY ARROW to listen):
Part 2: Bob talks about recent positive changes in village life:
Part 3: Bob relates a story about the pressures Maoist insurgents exert on villagers:
