In Indonesia there season kite fighting too, usually during long school holidays. We use a special sharp thread for kite fighting called a Gelasan, when I was kid my palms were full of wounds because of the thread, when the enemy's kite lose, a lot of kids chased kite for trophy.

This was beautiful, absolutely in love with the different shot compositions, especially 3:39 to 4:04

at 5.32 this kid says the words all great men have spoke and he isn`t even 9 or 10...wonderful to hear him vocalize this sentiment...great post

Sh!t. I just realized that kite fighting is not only played in Indonesia, the other 3rd world countries do the same. So why there's no international kite fighting and kite chasing competition? It will unite 3rd world boys around the world.

This video only show the favela's reality, in Brazil, we have kites with so many types and shapes, each state have your own type. And exists the people who have more money than others wich fly more expensive kites. This game are very democratic here, all the ages, all the classes can play.

Can someone answer this because I need to know for my school work. what is the main purpose that this video was made? how did the film begin and end-was it effective?

We in the philippines. NEVER gone like this situation. We make kites like 5 to 10 meters but we dont get bleed. #PHILIPPINES.laban

Actual critique: I think this video was an accurate shoeing of kite fighting using several locals for interviews and was nicely filmed but at times i felt it wwas trying to hard to be a deep philosophical video when its just a video about flying kites

It's about flying kites why is it shot like a murder documentary this is depressing

O The New York Times deveria ter melhores propósitos que somente mostrar que não é só nos EUA que existem favelas e cortiços, vai ver por isso tantas avaliações negativas. Se um repórter brasileiro fosse fazer uma reportagem nos EUA, e que duvido que seria transmitida por um jornal norte americano, também iria onde os mais humildes e esquecidos pelo Governo estão vivendo. Quem sabe vivendo em um dos vários acampamentos onde norte americanos pobres e endividados vivem, dentro de trailers ou carros, talvez teriam como diversão algo tão simples e barato de se conseguir quanto uma "kite". Nesta matéria a real intensão é mostrar as favelas do Rio de Janeiro, quase nada de conteúdo sobre as "kites" do Brasil foi noticiado. Exemplo 1: Aqui em São Paulo também tem dessas batalhas aéreas, muitos compram "linha chilena e tailandesa" vulgarmente denominadas "cerol". Dificilmente hoje em dia eles fabricam o cerol, o seu uso é proibido por Lei estadual e municipal em São Paulo. As "kites" com rabo, chamadas "rabiolas" são mais comuns por aqui, as distâncias entre os oponentes são maiores então as carretilhas devem ter sempre um mínimo de 2 km de linha. Todos os anos as linhas contendo cerol causam dezenas de amputações e acidentes fatais, principalmente entre motoqueiros e crianças pequenas. Nas crianças a amputação de dedos, nariz e orelha são dados como acidentes domésticos, já os motoqueiros são degolados, os acidentes sempre resultam em um laudo diferente da causa real. Exemplo 2: Como o "eolismo de caça" estava ficando marginalizado, decidi usar meus recursos pessoais para criar um revestimento á base de pó cerâmico e adesivo de cura gradual. Em contato com outras linhas as paríiculas cerâmicas destroem as fibras de algodão das outras linhas, ao mesmo tempo ela gira em torno do próprio eixo impedindo ser cortada. Inventei um revestimento para linhas usadas em "eolismo de caça" que não machuca, mas, sem verba para divulgar o produto fiquei sem opções de como ajudar. Abaixo o link, se alguém quiser seguir com o projeto posso fornecer toda orientação sem nenhum custo: www1.uol.com.br/criancas/report/fn140204.htm

exactly... the size of the kites are too small... India and Pakistan professional kite makers make awesome kites... it does exactly what you want it to do... just a single string gives you control from bottom of the ground to heights of the skies... it sounds like a fighter jet when pulled fast.....

do they compete for money?

:)

Cool but so daft

....why does this feel so much like propaganda? The video is about kites, but the way they made this video just rubs me the wrong way...maybe it's because i saw another video that made this video feel like an agenda instead of just having fun...
