Through the Eye of a Needle: Stories from an Indian Desert (DVD)

Through the Eye of a Needle: Stories from an Indian Desert (DVD)

Maiwa Productions
2005

This is the story of a unique group of craftswomen. Follow their journey as they return to creating the world-class embroidery that made their ancestors famous. The incredible stories of the women from the Kutch Mahila Vikas Sangathan co-operative (KMVS) are recorded here through video, song, laughter, and stitch.

History here is worn as generations of knowledge are passed down through embroidered designs. Long a valuable item of trade, the embroideries also provide a common ground for women to meet and bring their stories to the world. Experience the amazing landscape of the Kutch desert on India's western border, the remarkable diversity of the communities who live here, and the breathtaking colours of their textiles.

Runtime: 30 min.
