Bo Kata when translated into English roughly means hacked! ''Bo Kata'' was filmed during the Basant Kite festival in Lahore, Pakistan, over three continuous days. The documentary depicts the unique rooftop kite duellists of the city.〔(Bo Kata synopsis ) ''filmedup.com''〕 The annual celebration of the coming of Spring, known as Basant in Pakistan, has been a tradition and cultural heritage of Pakistan for over 400 years. A series of tragic accidents resulting in decapitations and dismemberment from illegal chemically coated strings used to fly the kites has seen the age old tradition come under attack from politicians, the authorities and the non kite-flying public. The ''Bo Kata'' documentary provides an insight into the fanatical kite flying population and the lucrative industry surrounding it amidst the political backdrop of an impending ban. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bo Kata」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
