One cluster of craftsmen churns out wigs, others make lights, polo balls, boats, shuttlecocks and jeans. Following the original process which has been passed down generations, these craftsmen keep alive old family traditions. <b><i>In the Shadows: Unknown Craftsmen of Bengal<\/i><\/b> celebrates the indomitable spirit of enterprise of rural craftsmen while gently reminding us that each time a craftsman passes away, the craft moves a step closer to extinction.
