I'm not exactly sure what this is, but it appears to be some sort of border closing ceremony along the India/Pakistan line. The dry, sparse narration makes me think of nature shows, and the pomp and show makes me think of the Bird of Paradise mating dances from Planet Earth. Plus Silly Walks, of course. The cheering crowds indicate that this is a sport of some kind, but I can't tell who's winning. The handshake at the end is a nice gesture. Good sportsmanship, I guess. Could you imagine this happening along the U.S./Mexico border?
