Today's story is "Bod's Dream"
Coverage from today's games
How can you capture in the lens of a film camera the essence of a country so diverse, so variegated, and so paradoxical as India? That is the question which confronts the famous French film-maker in Part 1 of his highly personal filmed diary Louis Malle's India.
Dancers in Mysore, intellectuals in Delhi, an Italian nudist in Goa, a circus act in Kerala, French beatniks at Konarak, a strike, a wedding, a festival, shepherds, vultures, and fishermen - images of another world fleetingly caught in Reflections in a Lens, the first of seven programmes in which Louis Malle searches through India for a way to capture the truth behind the exoticism, the beauty, and the poverty of this extraordinary subcontinent.
'Truth is One,' says the Rig Veda, 'though men give her a thousand names.'
