Vintage Video of Hunza - 1937

Vintage video (footage) of Hunza (Pakistan) shot in 1937

This silent educational film shows rural life in the mountainous valley near Gilgit -- now in the Northern Areas of Pakistan. There is footage of fertility rites performed by the Mir and scenes of the daily life of the locals; this includes the production of apricot wine which is lovingly called 'Hunza water'.

This and other videos on Hunza are available for discussion on this blog post:
