The Land of Land Rovers

As part of Land Rover’s 70th anniversary celebrations, director Matt Hopkins travelled to Maneybhanjang, a town in the Himalayan foothills joining Nepal and India, creating a short documentary capturing the vital role a fleet of Series One vehicles play in village life, in our latest work with Spark44. Our main ambition was to bring the story of Maneybhanjang and its people to life, showcasing their incredible inner spirit, unwavering tenacity and the daily strifes that their collection of 1950’s Land Rovers help to overcome. Over the space of ten days, we made the Himalayan village our home, meeting, researching and telling the stories of these remarkable people in an effort to tell this very special story.
