HEARTS IN THE HIMALAYAS

Director & Producer: Debi Lang,

 Debi Lang

From award-winning humanitarian journalist Debi Lang comes Hearts In The Himalayas, a documentary about the extraordinary efforts of Himalayan HealthCare. Using the powerful narrative of co-founder Anil Parajuli, the film profiles the work of a tiny Nepalese NGO, whom overcame a ten-year civil war to bring social change to the forgotten people living in the remote foothills in the Himalayas.

12-year-old Tatheer embarks on a week-long Police boot camp for girls from a social housing estate in Copenhagen. Far from home, deep in the woods, she navigates grueling rituals, elusive social dynamics, and personal setbacks to find her place in this tender and revealing coming-of-age story.
