Riders of the Mist is a documentary about a century old bareback pony racing tradition in the state of Assam, India. The custom has brought some very beautiful relationships between the jockeys and their ponies. The ponies are free-grazing and live in the grassland river islands of the Brahmaputra Valley. The jockeys who are villagers of the Mishing Tribe have inherited the bareback racing tradition from their forefathers. The film captures one such connection between a jockey and his pony. As the film unfolds, it shows the intricate level of bonding shared between the jockeys and the ponies and follows this till the end of the race. For the jockeys, they feel a sense of festivity dawning upon them as they begin by bringing their ponies and taming them for the much anticipated Governor’s Cup Annual Race. Heartwarming!
