Life in Hunza (1937)

This silent educational film shows rural life in the mountainous valley near Gilgit - now in the Northern Areas of Pakistan. There is footage of fertility rites performed by the Mir and scenes of the daily life of the locals; this includes the production of apricot wine which is lovingly called 'Hunza water'.

Yes, the people are still same but standard of life has been changed, infrstructure changed, now the male / female both have a aggregate literacy ratio of above 95 % keeping a minim stard of education as 10th class.

Hasn't changed a whole lot in 75 years. I wonder if women can still work in the fields unveiled, or if the villagers can still drink wine, or hold rites for fertile crops in the spring. Some things have gone backwards. A great shot of the Hunza Valley rising up to amazing heights at 1:04.

[@hasansalahuddin4562]

Everything is changed now. Women and men work together in every field. Literacy rate is above 96 percent. Hunza is now a prosperous place with booming tourism. Hundreds of new hotels, guest houses and restaurants are open now.

Well, we should all go there on our holidays to do a bit of gardening.
