francois r 01/29/2023 This documentary is absolutely beautiful, so moving and so so so well done!!! It's a necessity to watch it. It opens an objective window on women's conditions in Nepal, as it could be in many other countries, but it also gives hope and an proof that creativity can save. What a life and what a woman !! Belmaya has got a destiny, undoubtedly she is someone special, a internal light and she could become a lighthouse for other women... Sue Carpenter's work is of a rare intelligence and humility ! I have been also very impressed by the editing and how every picture has got a meaning even subconsciously and how it all works together to serve the subject of the film. This is a great documentary !!! See more 05/27/2022 Wonderful film, touching thought provoking and uplifting so glad I came across this absolute gem of a movie. See more 05/24/2022 You feel you almost get to know Belmaya as you follow her life over the years, see her grow from a teenager having run away from troubles at home and arrived at a children's home, discovering her passion for the camera, to having a break, while she decides getting married might be the right path. She has a daughter. But being a married woman and a mother with a career in Nepal is not easy. She won't give it up though and we get to follow her struggles and highs while she's makes her own documentary film, and eventually takes it to various film festivals. It's beautifully filmed and you get a real feel for what life can be like for a girl in Nepal. See more 05/23/2022 I loved it! It's so multi-layered, I've watched it several times and see something different in it every time. Belmaya is a strong and beautiful character who remains in your mind as if you've met her in person. Remarkable. See more 12/06/2021 This film is a must watch to understand the fight that is needed for poor women to achieve some form of independence socially and economically in Nepal. Empathetically edited and wonderflly filmed with lovely music and scenery to boot. See more 11/30/2021 Absolutely loved it. Belmaya has such a magnetic presence - you feel her pain and her joy, as well as her deep love for her daughter. I felt transported to the mountains of Nepal. A beautiful story on every level, leaving you so uplifted. A truly satisfying watch. See more Read all reviews
