Herne Katha

Around 1990, a young boy from Jhapa (Eastern Nepal) came to Kathmandu to weave Nepali carpets. After spending some time in Kathmandu, given that he is underage, the boy is laid off from his job. Some people from the Northern Gorkha found him. Assuring him a job as a cowherd, he was taken to Tsum Valley after a two-week walk. From there on, he never returned home from the Mountain.

Tragic circumstances bring together the wife and the mother of two migrant workers - one from the east, the other from west Nepal.

High above the steep hills of Jajarkot, Nepal, four lives are tied together in the rugged cliffs of Khal Taakuri. Along the extreme topography of Nepal, and across the mental and emotional geographies of the tenacious human spirit, this documentary witnesses the perilous journey into the tiger’s jaw.
