This is the 5 min promo for my film. This clip, and my delightful charm, helped me win " The best Pitch " at this years AIDC festival in Perth. Below is the log line for the film.
Collective Moments of Madness: A Camel Odyssey.
Five international travelers set out on an Epic Journey; to be the first people to take Bactrian camels from the towering heights of the Himalayas down to Rajasthan and the famous Pushkar camel fair.
When two of their camels die, they are branded camel killers by the BBC. Threatened with charges of animal cruelty, police prosecution and mob justice, the group is forced into hiding on a secret farm.
I totally understand how India is an entity and not just a place. Even though you set out on an adventure, India itself is an adventure. Even if you were there for just a vacation.India always turns it into an adventure. It is unavoidable. I have had to escape cops in India before it is par for the course.LOL! Sounds like theses cops were looking for a pay off..typical.
Fantastic video .
your poor deceased camel will come back to you in another form. This camel is part of your soul.

For thousands of years they traveled from Russia to Leh in Ladakh on the silk route. They are only an non event now in India because of the advent of trucks. Now to me that is a shame...
There are so many things to learn about the world when you're walking with a camel.

of course there was the adventure and doing something that hadn't been done before but the idea came to light in Pushkar, there was a year worth of planning and research that got blown out of the window at some point, and it finished in Pushkar to the delight of the camel traders and the people of Rajasthan.
There are a over 1 million domesticated bactrian camels in the world. and around 500 wild endangered Bactrians ( different DND) in Mongolia only.

I know exactly how it felt to being in the back of an Indian Tata truck as i sat with them in the back the whole way.
From Hemis to Rajgard we did stop and camp for a few days so the camels we free to wander around eat and be camels.
The main idea of the trip was to show camel loving people a camel that they had and would never see, in the flesh before.

A 'natural death' is worth a philosophical discussion. Maybe you mean an ideal death, them passing away at home. I totally agree. Had we known they would definitely die we wouldn't have done it, but Death comes when it comes.

Having said all this and more I completely acknowledge the fact that your motive was very noble and wanted to do something good for the animals and also the fact that locals enjoyed watching a new species of camel which they had not seen before! Keep doing your great work ~~~ Go Bless you!

In any case I feel sad on their deaths and feel they shouldn't have been brought at the first place or if they had to be then you shouldnt have atleast used a rickety truck for it.. I can't imagine how it feels like being on indian roads for 5 long days captured in a tight fitting truck where you can barely move....

I appreciate your reply but I would still stick to my point that TWO camels cant die their natural death almost at the same time when they were brought down for a fair in pushkar. If they had to die of their ailments they could have died in ladhakh, dont you think the 5 day long journey had its toll on the poor animals and that too an endangered one?
