Return to Nepal, featuring USC’s work, will air on CBC Documentary Channel
Travel with Bruce Cockburn as he returns to Nepal after twenty years away. The CBC Documentary Channel will air the broadcast premiere of Return to Nepal, a new documentary film chronicling Cockburn’s recent visit to the spectacular Himalayan nation. The film will show at the following times:
In November 2007, Filmmaker Robert Lang followed the musician as he travelled to Humla – a region nestled in the Himalayan Mountains. There he found a land where, while much has changed, life is still often lived in much the way it has been for centuries. Farmers still work the steep mountain slopes and live in remote villages connected by an ancient network of footpaths.

Return to Nepal is a revealing glimpse at this little-known corner of the world whose people have much to offer; strategies for survival in a tough land. The following clip is presented courtesy of Kensington Communications.

I work at bringing wireless internet to remote corners of BC,Canada. The program with Bruce Cockburn shows a teacher desiring computors for his students. The Wi fi technology is very cost effective and relatively low capital cost to deliver. All electronics have become very reliable. People in this country are thrilled to get high speed internet I would love to see the look on the childrens faces when given axcess to the information highway.
The website included is the company I work for.
