Gladiators on Wheels

An experimental documentary short made over a one-day shoot in West Bengal's Poush Mela. In remote rural festivals all around India the 'Well of Death' has been a long-notorious attraction - where for £0.50 per ticket, you can see stunt drivers rocket in circles across 60ft walls, throwing caution to the wind and defying gravity.
