Beneath Everest
Nepalis tell their stories – challenges, triumphs and hopes as Nepal begins the long journey towards peace.
Himalayan Gold Rush
Every spring, tens of thousands of men, women and children leave their villages for a dangerous trek to the high Himalaya, sometimes at the cost of their lives, to collect Yarsagumbu -a mysterious transmutation between plant and insect. Used in Chinese medicine, it is worth up to 60 000 USD a kilo –more than gold!
West Coast Premiere – Highway
Set against the backdrop of the new culture of bandhs (general strikes) that frequently immobilize post-conflict Nepal, Highway explores five different relationship stories that become intertwined during an ill-fated bus journey from eastern Nepal to the capital, Kathmandu.
