Shot on 8mm film in 1962, this vintage footage captures a bustling riverside scene in Calcutta, India. Several men and boys work on the muddy shore beside large wooden boats, filling baskets with material from the water. Some carry baskets on their heads, a common practice in the region. The film shows the daily labor of local fishermen or dockworkers, with weathered boats and simple tools visible. The footage has the characteristic grain and color palette of Super 8 home movies from the early 1960s, offering a candid glimpse into everyday life in India.
