I Am Belmaya (2021)
Powerful and inspirational

Wow! I was blown away by this film. It's such an incredible and original story of empowerment of a Nepali girl from a poor, Dalit background with no education, who then fights back - against her husband and society as a whole - with her camera as her weapon.
Heart-breakingly sad, funny, moving, heart-soaringly happy - you're taken through the whole gamut of emotions, but never feel manipulated. Such an insight into a way of life that you'd never be able to witness if it weren't Belmaya herself behind the camera. Belmaya rocks!
