Nepali Films Telling Stories of Family and Society

Some of the strongest Nepali films this year are about family and society:

• Baa Ek Yoddha — the quiet sacrifices of a father, with Jharana Thapa and Divya Dev.
• Parbati — one woman's fight for identity in rural Nepal, directed by and starring Neeta Dhungana Adhikari.
• Jadau — an inter-caste love story that questions social boundaries, with Reecha Sharma and Mukun Bhusal.
• Elephants in the Fog - Tiniharu — the matriarch of a Kinnar community searches for her missing daughter.

These films show how Nepali cinema is growing braver with every release.
