Tashi’s Turbine, a documentary directed by MFA Social Documentary Film faculty member and alumnus Amitabh Joshi (2013) and produced by fellow faculty member and alumnus Erik Spink (2013), makes its television premiere this Sunday, November 13, at 10:00pm EST on PBS World. Initiated as Joshi’s thesis project, the film tells the story of Namdok, a small Nepalese village nestled in the Himalayas, and the two men who, with limited resources, are determined to bring electricity to the remote community. Friends Tashi and Jeevan, traveling from Kathmandu, dream up, design and ultimately execute their plan to build a wind turbine and provide a sustainable source of light for the villagers.
