A tale of rebellion, courage and hope in patriarchal Nepal.

Directed by women. Written by women. Produced by women.
Your ticket supports women in Nepal to rebuild their lives after violence.​
You can watch the film anytime between Saturday 19 June, 6pm AEST and Sunday 20 June, 11pm AEST.
Spanning 14 years, this feature-length documentary follows Belmaya’s transformational journey as she stands up to her husband and society, and reclaims her voice through filmmaking.
How will the screening work?
Event schedule:
  • 5pm AEST Saturday 19 June: You will be sent a link to the film via email. You can watch the film anytime on Saturday or Sunday.
  • 6.30pm AEST Sunday 20 June: Join a live Q&A with director, Sue Carpenter. The Q&A will go for 45 minutes - you will have an opportunity to ask questions about the film and hear snippets from a pre-recorded Q&A with Belmaya. You will be sent a Zoom link for the Q&A via email. We would recommend watching the film at 5pm so that you can join the Q&A after. 
  • 11pm AEST Sunday 20 June: Access to the screening ends.

Tickets are $20 per person.

All profits will be split equally between:
  • Project Didi Australia to support strong futures for survivors of trafficking and violence in Nepal. Find out more.
  • Tideturner Films to fund a public release of the film to amplify its important messages, with 10% of Tideturner's share going direct to Belmaya, who has been unable to earn an income since the COVID-19 crisis. 

If you would like to support Belmaya and the film’s outreach, you can donate separately to the I Am Belmaya GoFundMe campaign at https://gofund.me/d9ac2bdb. 20% of proceeds will go direct to Belmaya.
​
If COVID-19 restrictions allow in your location, why not host a screening with friends and family? We ask, if you do this, please purchase a ticket per person, as proceeds are directed to holistic care, education and employment pathways for survivors of trafficking and abuse in Nepal. ​
Project Didi Australia is a partner for Project J1082N Futures of Dignity and Opportunity with Global Development Group (ABN 57 102 400 993). ​Any excess funds will be directed to other approved project activities.
Tax deductible receipts for gifts over $2 with a preference for this project will be issued by GDG. Please note ticket sales are not tax deductible.
