Write a short summary of what happens in the film
With only a tent, a bicycle, and his phone equipped with Google Translate, Dnyaneshwar Yewatkar left his home in central India and embarked on a four-year journey to meet and learn from a wide world of people. Inspired by Gandhi, Dnyan aims to spread peace, love, and compassion wherever he goes, by meeting as many people as he can, learning from them, and sharing what he knows about the world.
Tell the jury anything relevant about the direction. Do not name the director.
To connect audiences with the true essence of Dnyan's journey, we wanted them to have the feeling of riding along with him, of observing and learning from the world as he does. We shot the film over the course of a year, in four countries -- India, South Korea, the United States, and Cuba. The process was slow, but rewarding — shooting in a truly observational verité style, and waiting for moments to happen. Operating with a small crew, we were able to fade into the background and simply watch. The films narration came from over a dozen interviews over the course of the year, which helped track the way his experience was affecting him and his world view.
