Paradigm Shift

A film by Julie Bridgham

“Filmed over three years during the most historic and pivotal time in Nepals modern history, The Sari Soldiers is an extraordinary story of six womens courageous efforts to shape Nepals future in the midst of an escalating civil war against Maoist insurgents, and the Kings crackdown on civil liberties. When Devi, mother of a 15-year-old girl, witnesses her niece being tortured and murdered by the Royal Nepal Army, she speaks publicly about the atrocity. The army abducts her daughter in retaliation, and Devi embarks on a three-year struggle to uncover her daughters fate and see justice done.” — Youtube.com
