Unused / unissued footage - dates and locations may be unknown / unclear. Cuts from newsreel 47/78 - Fakir Swordsman. Various shots show men putting a sword through the middle of Fakir swordsman Mirim Dajo. The blade goes right through the man's body and out the other side. Looks horrendous, but real! A large audience watches the demonstration. Brief shots follow of Dajo eating at a table with some other men - seems to be perfectly alright. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
