Short Cut to Nirvana: Kumbh Mela (2004)
Kumbh Mela - Shortcut to Nirvana. Outstanding.

I reviewed this on Amazon, but couldn't resist a mention on here too, as I thought this was a truly outstanding movie. Sensitive, intelligent and informative, it gently leads the viewer on a delightful journey through the biggest religious festival in the world. Shot by westerners, (Maurizio Benazzo and Nick Day), it accepts warmly, and never pokes fun at, the extreme weirdness of many of the fascinating characters we meet, (saddhus, gurus etc), and shows us a beautifully shot glimpse of this festival and the atmosphere that surrounds it.
If you get the chance, do please take the time to see it. You'll learn something, I guarantee it.
