About this film

1930's era film, depicting the construction of a land bridge using local labourers in India. This film was shot by my Grandfather, who was a British public servant working in India at this time. The film was noted 'unedited' on the reel, and does seem to be a series of shots, rather than a completed film. Some interesting steam equipment shown at work.
