Do you have a kid or teen at home that's inspired by Greta Thunberg, enraptured by nature or intimidated by the realities of climate change? This strand is for them! They will learn about maternal elephants, indigenous people and their connection to the Earth, poaching and its consequences, the effects of mass urban migrations, the power of musical activism, and the incredible capacity for transformation that we all hold within ourselves. These are educational films, wholesome stories, & heartening voices curated for all the budding environmentalists out there! Suitable for ages 15 and under and for the whole family.
The first mountain guide from her village in northern Nepal, 34-year-old Durga Rawal was always on the lookout for a path to independence. While the girls around her were left to grow up working on family farms and in their homes, Rawal pursued another direction—changing not only the societal and familial expectations of herself, but for future generations.
"DURGA: Forging a New Trail" is an intimate story of what female empowerment and gender equality looks like on the ground, and what an independent path just might lead to.
