AZADI: Freedom

AZADI: Freedom takes a look at Kashmir in the wake of the violent militant insurgence of the 90s, and the prospects for young Kashmiri today as they venture into the backcountry on skis. Few would ever guess that the highest skiable gondola sits amid the most militarized region in the world and that skiing is drawing foreigners back to this former Shangri-La. 30 minutes. Watch the film trailer. (Photocredit: Anthony Bonello, from the film AZADI: Freedom)
