Beneath The Boarder is a 30 minute documentary that follows the life of a young Kashmiri boy, Raja Khan, who is determined to become a Kashmir’s first professional snowboarder. Raja lives with his family in the mountains of Kashmir, five kilometres from the disputed Line of Control between the Indian and Pakistan army. He lives under the suppression of the Indian army with limited education, the risk of avalanche dangers and the restraints of society. In recent years extreme snowboarders began visiting Kashmir and Raja watched them curiously as they surfed down the snow-covered mountains. He quickly realised there was more life to the war-torn world he knew.
