Movie Night #3 | Stories of the vanishing rivers in Nepal

Together with 3 friends, Anup Gurung embarked on a 5-month’ Mission East to West’ to document the impacts of the development of Nepal on its rivers and the people living around them. They kayaked many of Nepal’s wild rivers, seeking interaction with the local communities. Anup takes us on this journey, telling stories supported with some of his videos, filled with beautiful shots, humor, and important messages.
