Description:

Show detail Hide detail

Special documentary program on India entitled THE WAR OF IDEAS written and directed by Michael Maclear. Film captures the widely varied Indian landscape and its diverse peoples showing how ancient customs and beliefs flourish side by side with the latest advances in science and technology. We see street scenes of Delhi with its beautiful temples and its "untouchables", many of whom live and die in the streets. In rural areas the villagers are seen conducting most activities with primitive tools. Aerial shots of the Bhakra Dam high in the Himalayas show teams of labourers toiling with pick and shovel to complete a vast irrigation project. Evidence of India's dependence on foreign aid is recorded in footage of the Canadian-financed nuclear reactor near Bombay and the Soviet-financed steel mills at Bhilai and Bokaro. Additional seq. on the southern state of Kerala where a communist government organizes agricultural co-operatives. In an interview, Prime Minister Jawaharla Nehru discusses his government's policy of co-operation and persuasion rather than compulsion as India strives to solve its social and economic problems. News headlines read by Earl Cameron. <30mn : 3525-4669>
