SYNOPSIS:
http://www.sarisoldiers.com
Filmed over three years during the most historic and pivotal time in Nepal’s modern history, THE SARI SOLDIERS is an extraordinary story of
six women’s courageous efforts to shape Nepal’s future in the midst of an escalating civil war against Maoist insurgents, and the King’s
crackdown on civil liberties.
When Devi, mother of a 15-year-old girl, witnesses her niece being tortured and murdered by the Royal Nepal Army, she speaks publicly
about the atrocity. The army abducts her daughter in retaliation, and Devi embarks on a three-year struggle to uncover her daughter’s fate
and see justice done. THE SARI SOLDIERS follows her and five other brave women, including Maoist Commander Kranti; Royal Nepal Army Officer Rajani; Krishna, a monarchist from a rural community who leads a rebellion against the Maoists; Mandira, a human rights lawyer; and
Ram Kumari, a young student activist shaping the protests to reclaim democracy. THE SARI SOLDIERS intimately delves into the extraordinary journey of these women on opposing sides of the
conflict, through the democratic revolution that reshapes the country’s future.
