Summary
The film provides fascinating insights into the pressures facing non-western people as they confront the global economy. Follow two women from Ladakh, or Little Tibet, on a reality tour of London to see what life in the West is really like. The women are exposed to aspects of modern urban life homelessness, old-age homes, massive garbage dumps that contrast sharply with the idealized media and advertising images impressed upon people's minds in the less-developed parts of the world.
