The soundtrack’s diverse Indian sounds are unobtrusively held
together and augmented by the composition of Sam Cardon. Sam Cardon

Shackleton's Antarctic Adventure and Mysteries of Egypt. In addition,
he has written or co-written such themes as National Geographic Explorer,

Calgary as well as music for the closing ceremonies at the 2002 Salt
Lake City Winter Olympic Games.
The large format film Mystic India
transports you back to 18th Century India, revealing an ancient culture
and civilization. The film follows Neelkanth, a young boy who walked
for 7 years and 8,000 miles across this vast majestic land. The film
explores India’s geographic and cultural diversity, soars over
the natural beauty of its land and architecture and celebrates its
spectacular festivals, colorful customs and spiritual wonders. India
is the only country that speaks 18 different languages and more than
1,600 dialects. India is home to a billion people of different religions,
traditions and backgrounds. The film presents that there is unity
in diversity and that we are all one people; we share the same sky,
walk the same earth, breathe the same air; that we are a single human
family. (For more information on the film, please visit: www.mysticindia.com.)
