04/25/2010 Perhaps odd finding out about Wagah, a crossing at the border of India and Pakistan, via a German short film at the Sydney German Film Festival, but I am glad I did. Each evening at this border crossing the flags are lowered by each country's soldiers. However, this is not a mere military action, it is a spectacular one: their uniforms are grand as are their actions while marching -- and they are exceptionally flexible, particularly marching with lthe legs being raised exceptionally high... Hundreds, thousands, of people from each country come to the crossing to witness this military display. They roar, they cheer for their country's soldiers' display, each country's people trying to out-do the other. The film also explores more than that, looking to the feelings of people separated by the border, particularly through the eyes of one young DVD seller, and his friends. A truly fascinating look at this border crossing and the feelings generated by it. See more Read all reviews
