The Himalayan Boy and the TV Set

Is an excellent thought provoking, beautifully photographed documentary about Laya, a village in Bhutan in the Himalayas. It is seen through the eyes of an eight year old boy Peyangki. It documents the traditional versus the march of civilisation, as electricity and a road enter the village.

I laughed at this scene where Peyangkis Uncle and his wife have a 'domestic'. The uncle has travelled three days out, and three days back, sold a yak to buy a TV.



"Calm down" He says? How can you calm down from being the calmest person in the world?

Full Movie
