Film: 'The Salt Stories'
(84 min; 2008; b/w & colour; Hindi/English/Gujarati and with English subtitles)
Director: Lalit Vachani

Recipient of the Best Documentary Award, MIAAC 2009; and 2nd Prize, Film South Asia, Kathmandu 2009

In 1930, a group of Indians led by a frail, elderly man marched a distance of 241 miles. They marched for salt. Mahatma Gandhi was able to craft an anti-colonial, nationalist movement around the most basic issue of livelihood: the right of Indians to make and consume their own salt. Set against the backdrop of Gandhi’s original journey, this documentary is a road-movie about issues of livelihood in a modern, globalising India. It is a documentary about ‘the salt stories’ of our times.

About 1 out of 3 persons above the age of 65 years and 1 out of 2 of those more than 80 years of age fall at least once a year. A fifth of them need medical treatment and 10 per cent sustain fractures. These injuries become a major cause of death, hospitalization or disability. The various risk factors for the fall include the patient-related as well as environment related factors. The prevention of falls and subsequent fractures can mitigate a lot of suffering for the elderly and save money as well as lives. The presentation will address some of these issues
