Outcaste – The House that Carol Built
Carol Fraser is an English woman in her late 70’s and she wants to build a house in the Himalayas…..this remarkable documentary charts this incredible story by filmmakers Laura Graham & Colin Graham.
This is a unique story of the faith and strength of belief of an elderly lady, an untouchable and a lapsed buddhist monk, a bit like the Marigold hotel meets ‘Lost Horizon’.
Carol Fraser is an eternal seeker living between England and India. With no home and no one to look after her as she ages she has a problem for her indomitable spirit and holistic way of seeing the world has created a huge spiritual bank account and an empty real one!
