The Sari Soldiers
What
A screening of the acclaimed documentary The Sari Soldiers, winner of the 2008 Human Rights Watch International Film Festival Nestor Almendros Award, and a discussion with director Julie Bridgham over drinks and appetizers.
"Filmed over three years
during the most historic and pivotal time in Nepal's modern history,
The Sari Soldiers is an extraordinary story of six women's courageous
efforts to shape Nepal's future in the midst of an escalating civil war
against Maoist insurgents, and the King's crackdown on civil liberties."
