KIDS IN KATHMANDU PRIVATE SCREENING - I AM BELMAYA

*Tickets: minimum £10 per person*

Please join us for an exclusive online screening of the upcoming feature documentary I Am Belmaya, followed by a specially recorded Q&A with director Sue Carpenter and co-director Belmaya Nepali, hosted by TV film critic Anna Smith.

Your chance to see this beautiful, inspirational film, set in Nepal, before it is released to the public. A story 14 years in the making, I Am Belmaya follows an uneducated young Dalit woman’s transformational journey from orphaned teenager to subjugated wife to award-winning documentary filmmaker.

"I am hugely touched and impressed by this beautiful work. A daring and heartbreaking film, which fills one with hope and admiration. Its charm lies in its humour and sorrow, so deftly intermingled on the screen. Five shining stars from me” - Joanna Lumley

* UK Film Review's 5 star review of I Am Belmaya! *

Tickets and Donations

When you click on the ticket link, you will find just one ticket option - an empty box for you to fill in your donation amount.

All profits will be split equally between Kids in Kathmandu Nepal (to support orphans and disadvantaged children in Nepal with their education), and Tideturner Films (to fund a public release of the film to amplify the film's important messages, with 20% of Tideturner's share going direct to Belmaya and her daughter).

NB We are listing this event with a 'Donation' only ticketing option, because this minimises Eventbrite admin and payment processing fees - meaning that 100% of your donation goes to support the charity, the film and Belmaya.
