Return to Nepal w/ Bruce Cockburn - Flying to Humla

Clip taken from Return to Nepal (http://kensingtontv.com/kensington/content/project/26/Return-to-Nepal), produced by Kensington Communications Inc. (http://www.kensingtontv.com) Copyright 2008. To purchase the film, visit https://kensingtontv.com/store/store_browse.php

Producer/director Robert Lang and cinematographer Guy Clarkson accompany musician Bruce Cockburn as he returns to the spectacular Himalayan country of Nepal after twenty years away.

He finds a land where much has changed, with a Maoist government recently installed, women newly empowered, and fresh initiatives to deal with the grinding poverty of the majority of the Nepali people. But its also a land where, in some of the remotest areas, life is lived much in the way it has for centuries salt caravans, subsistence farming on steep mountain terraces and off-the-grid villages connected by an ancient network of footpaths.

Those engines have to be on the top of their game....Very high altitude and no room for power compromise or engine inefficiency in such conditions..It was the old Fairchild F27 twin engine turbo prop that crashed up there with all the soccer players on board that could not maintain altitude...You know that the heart break of that story.

Thanks. Great to see the personal, non-concert side of BC.
