Shot on 8mm film in 1962, this vintage footage captures a group of workers in conical hats laboring in flooded rice fields in Calcutta, India. The workers wade through shallow water, bending to collect rice by hand in a traditional agricultural method. The scene is set under an overcast sky, with a tall utility pole standing in the water and distant fields stretching into the horizon. The film exhibits natural grain, slight color fading, and the characteristic frame edges of a home movie, offering an authentic glimpse into rural life and farming practices of the era.
