AsI encountered it on Facebook this morning.

YouTube version.


This film was made 101 years ago!

But, in some ways that is NOT that long ago depending on your perspective. It was filmed 33 years before I was born. I do recognize a few of the scenes/places.

Obviously science & sociology was much different at the time. That there was a land bridge between India & Ceylon is now known — scientifically. All in all, it is an interesting film to watch.
