I Am Belmaya

Belmaya, dominated from all quarters, is desperate for independence. But in Nepal, men still rule and women obey. When Belmaya was 14 years old, was keen to change her discriminatory world through photography but that window closed when the home locked away her camera.Now she grasps the chance to train in documentary filmmaking training. But are her resentful husband and conservative community ready for this?

Against violent opposition and all expectations, she completes her film” Educate Our Daughters”. The film goes on to win hearts and awards, taking Belmaya to places she never dreamed she would go.
