other title: 印度愚公 / 印度版愚公移山
这是一部根据真实故事改编的电影,影片讲述了一位印度农民曼吉(Dashrath Manjhi)在痛失爱妻后坚持凿山的故事。 1959年,曼吉妻子帕谷尼亚在爬山时出了意外,不幸坠入山谷,由于地处偏僻,帕谷尼亚未能被及时送往医院,最后失血过多而死。 从曼吉居住的山区到最近的城镇,村民要跨越55公里的山路。为了避免悲剧重演,曼吉决定从山谷中开凿一条近路,用一把锤子和一把凿子展开了“愚公移山”的浩大工程。 通过22年夜以继日的工作,曼吉终于在1982年打通山谷与小镇间的通道。虽然通道只有短短的110米长,却将两地之间的距离缩短到15公里。 2007年,曼吉因癌症离世,享年73岁,比哈尔邦政府为纪念他的巨大贡献,给他举办了国葬级丧礼。在曼吉完工30年后,当地政府终于将道路铺平,成为当地居民的主要通道。
