Vesak Day | Short Documentary

We at Viewforia Production Studio went out on the streets of Colombo during Sri Lanka's festival of lights: Vesak Day. On this day where people celebrate the life and teachings of the Buddha, a spectacle of lights, colors, and sounds bring out thousands of people to the streets in a unique festival that isn't known to many outside Sri Lanka's shores. We tried to find what people think of the festival and see how the Buddha's teachings are represented by the people of Sri Lanka. Check out our work and spread the message to show people outside Sri Lanka what this beautiful festival is all about!
