A film by Julie Bridgham

Filmed over three years during the most historic and pivotal time in Nepals modern history, The Sari Soldiers is an extraordinary story of six womens courageous efforts to shape Nepals future in the midst of an escalating civil war against Maoist insurgents, and the Kings 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 daughters fate and see justice done.

@ChuckMartel it sucks...maoist is worst then king.

How are the Nepalese doing now that the Maoists are in charge? Are things better than they were with the monarchy?

This film is fantastic.I think well balanced and share the same thing -deep sarrow of loss of the loved ones during conflict. I saw it when I was in Nepal in 2009. I saw Juli at there too. She looks nice. Mandira Sharma is also a great human right defender. I hope every person in Nepal and also the rest of the world watch this film and advance together for the betterment.... Highly recommmended!
