The first of the Student Videos

One of the items I've been working on since I got here was a collaboration with some Env. students at Royal Thimphu College (RTC). I gave them a very brief introduction into making documentary videos and then had them make some short films. They only had 4 days to do this, so the film is short, but I was quite impressed with the quality of it, especially given it was their first time doing these and it was a very short time frame.
At any rate, here is one of the videos they made.
