Title:In the Forest Hangs a Bridge
Summary: A film about a thousand foot suspension bridge built by the people of Adi village, an evocation of the tribal community that makes it possible, and a reflection on its strengths - and fragility - of the idea of community. Located deep in the forested hills of the Siang Valley of Arunachal Pradesh, in the northeastern extremity of India, these elegant structures of cane and bamboo are the distinctive mark of the Adi tribe. Sometimes as long as fifteen hundred feet, these bridges have traditionally been built by the community, with bamboo and cane from the forests, and building skills from the village. Their only tool is the dao, tempered steel blade, the size of a machete. |
