It Is This

Set against the stunning backdrop of the Himalayas in Kashmir, IT IS THIS chronicles the history of snowboarding in Kashmir. A sport which is generally associated with white people is slowly growing in popularity in Gulmarg, a ski resort north of India. The underprivileged youth of Kashmir can hardly afford the equipment or training, but the thrill and sense of freedom and flight in sliding down the powdery slopes provides them an escape from the challenges of their military-occupied existence. The film is shot entirely on GoPro.
