Shot on 8mm film in 1962, this vintage home movie captures a line of people wading through shallow water in a rural field in Calcutta, India. Dressed in dark clothing and conical hats, they bend at the waist, carefully bringing objects in and out of the water, likely harvesting or collecting resources. The scene unfolds under an overcast sky, with a muddy, waterlogged landscape stretching into the distance. The footage exhibits classic Super 8 grain, scratches, and a soft, faded color palette, evoking a sense of historical authenticity and daily life in mid-20th century India. This archival clip offers a poignant glimpse into traditional labor and rural existence.
