Shot on 8mm film in 1962, this archival footage captures a line of workers in Calcutta, India, wading waist-deep in a flooded field. Dressed in simple clothing and conical hats, they bend at the waist, harvesting or tending to crops in the water. The scene unfolds under an overcast sky, with power poles and distant fields visible in the background. The grainy, color-bleached quality of the Super 8 film evokes a strong sense of historical authenticity and rural labor. This raw, unedited home movie offers a poignant glimpse into agricultural life in mid-20th century India.
