FIVE GUYS, FOUR BULLETS (2006)
This is a travel documentary on a group of 5 bikers
who
decide to ride their Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycles from
Delhi
to Ladakh, the Indian home of Tibetan Buddhism.
This 3,000 km journey
across the Himalayas is one of the
toughest motorcycle trips in the world.
There were just five riders and four bikes - no back-up
vehicle and no
film crew. There was no pre-planned
screenplay, and no locations or events to
cover. The film
was
shot by one
of the bikers, filmmaker Karan Singh,
who took his camera
along for the ride. He is the one-man
unit behind this film.
The documentary captures the interaction and experience
of the bikers
as they ride through the Himalayas. Through Kashmir and Ladakh, they
encounter floods, landslides,
snow, and altitude sickness at heights
of 18,300 feet.
It's a film on friendship, camaraderie, and the 'never say die'
attitude of the five as they face off with nature, connect
with
local
communities, explore old battlefields, and encounter nomads amidst
some of the most spectacular and
demanding landscapes possible.
Five Guys, Four Bullets was shot in summer 2005 over a period of 21 days.
