Malana: Globalization of a Himalayan Village

Veverka Bros. Productions is proud to announce the US release of its 17-minute documentary short Malana: Globalization of a Himalayan Village now available on Amazon.

"In the misty foothills of India's Himalayan mountain range, sits an isolated village called Malana. Throughout the village's long history, it has always remained fiercely independent from the outside world. Today, this is changing with construction of a road up the once remote Malana valley. The road brings with it promises of new opportunities and development, but it also brings the unknown. Will the Malanese be able to preserve their unique culture, or will it be swept away by the forces of globalization?"

China: The Rebirth of an Empire

"Peaceful rise or potential threat? China's 21st century emergence as a global super-power affects every single on of us"

China’s unprecedented growth has placed it on the verge of overtaking the United States as the world’s preeminent power. But what type of power will China become? In today’s interconnected and globalized world, the answer effects each and every one of us. In Pakistan and Afghanistan, China’s humanitarian activities and investment in infrastructure have won it the hearts and minds of the people. Yet in Tibet and Xinjiang, China is reviled as an imperialistic abuser of human rights. Will China use its strength to dominate its neighbors and become a 21st century empire, or will China’s youth lead the country towards democracy? Whether it’s a peaceful rise or potential threat, China's 21st century emergence as a great world power will change the lives of everyone.
