Program Note
In a Nepalese border town inhabited by the Madhesi people, two boys are kidnapped, and Detective Pooja arrives to solve the case. Upon her arrival, the region is in the throes of protests against racial discrimination, and trust in the police has plummeted due to brutal crackdowns. No one from the Madhesi community is willing to speak about the case, and as Pooja digs deeper, she comes face to face with the deep-seated racism and misogyny in the town. Inspired by true events during the 2015 anti-racism uprisings in southern Nepal, this film is both a gripping police thriller, with a female detective using her wits to solve the case, and a social drama highlighting corruption, racial discrimination, and gender inequality in contemporary Nepal.
