A story 14 years in the making, “I am Belmaya” is a very inspirational feature documentary set in Nepal following an uneducated young woman’s transformational journey from subjugated wife to documentary filmmaker.  Taking the camera and power into her hands, Belmaya stands up to her abusive husband and makes a film about the importance of education for girls.

The film is to shown at 7.30pm on Saturday 27th February via the following link

and is to be followed by a Q & A session with the Project Hospice Nepal’s palliative care specialist, Dr Stuart Brown, and the film director, Sue Carpenter.

In many developing countries young girls are forced to leave their education early in order to care for dying relatives.  Project Hospice Nepal is raising the funds required for the building of a new hospice in Kathmandu which will also be a hub for the distribution of palliative care in the rural areas and a state of the art education centre for the training of palliative care health professionals.  The increase in availability of palliative care will enable young girls to be released from their obligation to care for terminally ill relatives and to continue their education, thus creating a better and more fulfilling life for themselves and their children.

Tickets are available via the Eventbrite link and all funds raised will be split 50/50 between the film company, Tideturner Films, and our charity The Challenge Fund’s Project Hospice Nepal.
