You have been hearing and reading about the Maoist problem in Nepal so far. This is your chance to
see it, participate on discussions and ask questions to experts in the field.
About the Movie:
The film was made using footage shot in 26 days in Rukum, Rolpa and Jajarkot in the Far Western
Nepal that makes up the stronghold of the Maoists. The film attempts to showcase and understand the
causes underlying the rise of Maoists and its effect on the local population.
The film portrays the local people as to how their lives are affected and disturbed with the rise of
the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) and their six years of violent struggle. It also depicts that
the aftermath and the ongoing turmoil of the 'people's war' was the creation of the government's own
action.
