Broadband | Chadani Dixit | March 30, 2010 at 11:40 am
A film by Tulsi Bhandari is 90 Min. documentary with English and German subtitles.
Editing & cinematography: Christina Voigt and Musik by Bela Brauckmann, Gabriel Gordon is supported by United States Institute for Peace.
From deep in the Himalaya Mountains where Maoist soldiers greet the morning sun as they warm up, to the cities where a powerful movement for change explodes on the streets, the people of Nepal have experienced moments they never thought possible.
Filmed over four years during the height of the insurgency and the historic transition of Nepal from a 240-year old monarchy to a Republic nation, Beneath Everest is a journey that exposes the grass root realities of Nepals ten-year war. The film critically questions the use and continuation of violence and challenges its justifications.
Directed by a native Nepali, the film encourages Nepalis silenced by the fear to tell their stories, and challenges them to reflect on their fears, triumphs and hopes as Nepal begins the long journey towards peace.
