Marco Polo loves India!
Tuesday, October 1, 2013
Nina Paley created this awesome movie and is offering it to you for FREE. So give it a go already! Sita Sings the Blues is an ambitious, gorgeously animated telling of Marco’s favorite Indian Sanskrit epic, The Ramayana. Nina and her talented crew approach this fantastic story in a variety of ways, often with a much-needed, distinctly feminine point of view, cleverly embellished with the music of legendary jazz vocalist, Annette Hanshaw.
