Life in Hunza

Fertility rites and wine production: life in the Hunza valley in northern Pakistan.

This film opens with panoramic views of the Hunza valley, still part of India in the 1930s but now located in the north 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’.
