Synopsis:
'Newsroom Bahira ' Outside the News Room (30 Min), (with English sub-titles) - contains some graphic descriptionsA television anchor, gripped by the story of a woman's encounter with abortion in rural Nepal, pursues the story off-screen by traveling to the village of Accham in search of the story and the woman, Sushila. Sushila's death is not ordinary, and yet horifically common in Nepal, as well as many parts of the developing world. Abortion performed under traditional methods proves fatal for women in most cases. The method, a mix of superstition and unsafe medical practice often causes irreparable damage and death, and provides a wider commentary on the pervasive gender inequality in Nepal. This film provides a gripping and honest portrayal of a practice that desperately needs to be eradicated.
'Sukh Bahadur Adhikari, Class IV' Quest of a 79-year-old man for education (28 Min) (with English sub-titles)After a life spent working as a driver in the British India Government, Sukh Bahadur Adhikari has returned home to his village in rural Nepal. At the age when most are content with retirement, Sukh Bahadur sets on the path to fulfill his dreams of pursuing a school education at the age of 79. He attends the local school sitting next to his granddaughter in class 4, and they sit alongside at home completing their assignments. Though lacking formal education, Sukh Bahadur is a man of wisdom and his insights into the nuances of life, religion, culture and development are thrilling to watch. This film provides a heart touching glimpse into the life of a man and his quest for education.
