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 Nepal’s ten-year
war.
The film critically questions
the use and continuation of ‘violence’ and challenges its justifications.
Directed by a native
Nepali, Tulsi Bhandari, 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.
