I Am Belmaya

A really well made, delightful, eye-opening and touching film. I loved the journey that Belmaya went on and the soundtrack is also a belter. I'll be keeping my Brady eyes open for the filmmakers next project. A must watch.

This is such a lovely (true) story about a young Nepali girl who refuses to follow the path in life that is expected of her as a woman. Already at a young age you can tell she's feisty and determined despite having gone through a lot of difficulties already before she ends up in a children's home. It is intersting to follow her ups and downs over many years, as she changes from teenager to a mother. It is beautifully filmed and you really get to see what life is like for a girl in Nepal.

One of the best films I've ever seen. It was absolutely amazing and so multi-layered. The balance between the emotion, the humour, the entire narration, was perfect. Thank you!

As others say this is a moving film as we follow Belmaya's struggle to achieve independence in a society that still ranks women as inferior.

Despite marrying young and having a child, she finds her way to success after Sue Carpenter gives her a camera; this gradually becomes her tool of empowerment.

A sensitive film addressing many issues set against the lovely backdrop of Pokhara. Belmaya's struggle is still not over nor is it for many girls in Nepal.

What an amazing film. You are taken in her perspective of the world and how she goes against society norms in Nepal. The camera helps her fight through. We are taken through her life and how she has grown and changed, and how she is helping everyone grow and change. It's just amazing. You go through an emotional roller coaster.
