Bazaar Bus

Every Saturday morning, locals of a remote village in Georgia’s mountainous region of Racha take a bus to the weekly bazaar in the nearest larger town to sell their goods and make purchases.

The observational documentary short film follows the villagers on their journey to the market and gives a very atmospheric feeling for the hardship of this long summer day.
