********************************************************************

Anup Poudel is the son of a politician from Kathmandu, Nepal. He credits his father's involvement in three democratic movements in Nepal with inspiring him to create his entry for the 2010 Democracy Video Challenge. "The internal conflict in Nepal, political instability and several crises have degraded the sovereignty of the people. Therefore, I used this video to unite the people for this mutual goal," he says.

The 20-year-old Poudel says he has always had a passion for film and arts. "Filmmaking gives me two wings to fly through my imagination," he says. Poudel is currently working on a bachelor's degree in film studies and has made a number of other films, including a prize-winning one on climate change called My Green Home.
