HUNGRY MINDS - A film about the mobile libraries of this world
Synopsis
The Bengalese architect MOHAMMED REZWAN builds library boats that can bring books to people even during the monsoon season. The Mongolian author of children’s books, JAMBYN DASHDONDOG, packs two boxes full of books each summer to provide reading material to children in remote areas. The Kenyan librarian ABDULLAHI OSMAN leads caravans of camels loaded with boxes of books to the nomadic tribes bordering Somalia. Despite the heat, wind, rain or snow, they still manage their long journeys - by foot along the unpaved dusty trails of Kenia, by boat through waterways of Bangladesh or by jeep and yak wagons over the Mongolian Plateau. A film about the love of literature and the respect for knowledge that accepts no boundaries.
