I saw the film in Kathmandu, just prior to returning to the U.S., and where I had lived for over 3 years. The film is incredibly popular there, and has been playing to a packed audience, 2 shows a day, for over three months now (Sept.-Dec.). Caravan has English subtitles, and depicts the traditional life of salt traders in Dolpo, a district of Nepal. The photography is outstanding, the views of the Himalayas are magnificent, there are heart-stopping scenes, and the best part is the depiction of a fast-disappearing culture.
