''White Knight'' is an Indian documentary film directed by Aarti Shrivastava. The subject is Chewang Norphel, a 78-year-old engineer in Leh, Ladakh, who, over the last 15 years, has invented and implemented a technology that is helping provide a solution to an ecological disaster created by climate change.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/Akshay-produces-documentary-on-global-warming/articleshow/16710073.cms )〕 The film documents how Ladakh is grappling with an alarming water scarcity situation. In this high altitude desert where the melting of glaciers has been the traditional source of fresh water, a warmer planet is playing havoc with lifestyles and the ecology. With glaciers melting faster, fresh water is precious. Norphel's solution uses common sense and elementary observational science to create artificial glaciers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/environment/globalwarming/6449982/Indian-engineer-builds-new-glaciers-to-stop-global-warming.html )〕 ==Awards and recognitions== * Opening Film Water Doc Film Festival Canada * Official Selection Jaipur International Film Festival 2013 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Welcome to Movie Land )〕 * Official Selection South Asian Film Festival Canada 2012 * Official Selection Colorado Film Festival 2013 * Special Mention Women Deliver Cinema Corner Conference 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「White Knight (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
