Though i have watched the film and loved it a lot. After reading your essay, I'm more than compelled to read the original Journalistic account by Bruder.(at least, the Journalism student in me gotta read this)
The book was a beautiful mix of ethnography, commentary, and simple storytelling. As an audio book I gulped it down in two sittings. You might find it more rewarding, esp given your journalism pov. Let me know!
Wonderful and evocative Pratyush - the essay lives up to the promise that one needn't have watched the movie. Yet at the end - I want to see it. Very well written.
