Description
aftershocks struck Nepal leaving more than 9,000 dead, thousands injured, hundreds of people
missing and others displaced. More than half a million houses were destroyed, heritage sites
crumbled, transportation came to a halt, and people’s day-to-day activities were completely
paralyzed.
Bhagyale Bachekaharu (Nepal Earthquake: Heroes, survivors, and Miracles) is the story of
several individuals who miraculously survived the devastating earthquake. It also features
interviews of Armed Police Force Inspector Laxman Basnet who rescued people; Nepal Army’s
Deepak Rai and Bikas KC, who rescued a four-month-old baby; and National Poet Laureate
Madhav Prasad Ghimire who survived both the 1934 and 2015 earthquakes.
The film is a historical document that vividly portrays the picture of the devastating situation in
Nepal caused by the earthquake and its physical and psychological impact on the Nepalese
people.
