Press Release

The Story

 


Every 12 years, millions of pilgrims make the journey to the Kumbh Mela, on the shore of the Shipra River in the holy city of Ujjain, for a thousand- year- old celebration of life, faith and humanity.
Every year thousands of people make the journey to the Burning Man Festival in the Black Rock Desert for an exceptional sharing of creativity, generosity and mutual respect.
From the East to the West, from the sunrise to the sunset this documentary explores those two ephemeral communities through the eyes of its westerners...

"The Burning Man is a way to experience the gift economy"

 

"It is time to give"
