NEW TITLE

The film carried the working title 'The Colour of Water' throughout the production. At the very end of the sound mix KHADAK became the natural choice of title for the film. The word KHADAK means a sacred blue ceremonial scarf, an element which appears at key moments in the story.


TIME MAGAZINE COVERS 'MINE-GOLIA'

An August, 2006 issue of Time magazine included a 7-page spread about Mongolia and mining entitled 'The New El Dorado' written by Michael Schuman. KHADAK is an indirect reflection of the anxieties and turbulence produced by controversial mining policies.
