多數人都住在城市，但是沒多久之前，我們都來自農村。可惜的是，現代城市與鄉村已成為大相逕庭的兩個世界。有多少人了解現在的農村？又有多少人關心現代農村的艱難處境？農村不應該是都市開發的預備用地，更不是容納各種都市鄰避設施的垃圾桶。農村區域有其自主性、神聖性，是一個健全國家永續發展不可或缺的一部份。現代農村並非與都市或現代生活完全隔離，在現代的科技與產業型態下，農村如何維持其歷史、產業、空間、文化、生態、景觀等特色，卻又與時俱進，已成為全世界政府極嚴肅的課題。公共電視《農村的遠見,TheEternalFarmVillages》系列紀錄片，將帶領觀眾走入世界各地的農村典範。製作團隊造訪了德國、荷蘭、美國、日本、印尼與臺灣數個國家。藉由這些國家的農村經典典範，啟發觀眾對自己農村更多的想像，並從這些心懷遠見的農民、居民與經營者打拼的故事中，看見農村永續發展的無限可能。擁有30年紀錄片製作經驗的寶花團隊，耗時四年，透過第一手的材料、優美細膩的4K影像、溫馨的人物與劣勢突圍的故事，帶領觀眾重回我們心靈的故鄉。Mostofusnowliveincities;however,nottoolongago,mosthumanslivedinvillages.Unfortunately,moderncitiesandfarmingvillageshavebecomevastlydifferentworlds.Howwelldowereallyknowourvillagesnow?Doweevenpayattentiontothem?Villagesshouldnotberegardedasstill-to-bedevelopedcities,orwastedisposalsitesforurbanareas.Aself-regulatedfarmingvillagewithitsownsenseofvalueisindispensablefornationalsustainability.Theseparationoffarmingvillagesfromurbanormodernlifeisnotnecessaryorinevitable.Facingthechallengesofmoderntechnologyandindustry,itiscriticalforvillagestodevelopwithoutlosingtheiressentialnature.ThisPTSproductionof‘TheEternalFarmVillages’takestheviewertosomeoftheworld’smostexemplaryvillages.TheproductionteamvisitedGermany,theNetherlands,theUnitesStates,Japan,IndonesiaandTaiwan.Theinspiringvillagestheydiscoveredwillexpandourhorizons,andthestoriesofvisionaryfarmers,residentsandbusinessownersgiveusachancetoseehowsustainabilitycanbeachieved.With30yearsoffilm-makingexperience,BowwowProductionsspentfouryearsmakingthisdocumentaryseries.Combiningfirsthandmaterials,4Kresolutionfootage,charmingcharacters,andinspirationalstories,thevieweristransportedbacktothehometownsweallhavesomewhereinthebackofourminds.

The story revolves around the wonderful relationship between a 10-year old girl Sakina and Chotu, her 8-year old brother who live in a picturesque village nestled among the sand dunes. Having lost their parents to an accident at a very early age, they live with their uncle and aunt. Chotu is blind but he is anything but sad. Happy, precocious and a smart ass, he is the life of the village.Sakina is his eyes, his guide and his best friend. And Chotu is the center of Sakina's universe. As children sometimes do, not truly understanding the consequences, Sakina has promised Chotu that he will be able to see by the time he turns 9 and as always, Chotu believes her unconditionally. On their weekly trip to the neighboring village to see a movie, Sakina sees a poster with Sharukh Khan (SRK) appealing to people to donate their eyes. Sakinais convinced that her reel life hero ...
