    ASHMINA TAKES ME BACK TO MY TEEN YEARS

    This film has reminded me of my teenage years,i can relate with the social and tradition barriers she is facing. The storyline is simple, well written and is on point,it is based on real life experiences and speaks volume. The challenges that women face especially in countries that are Conservative and poor but asmnina is determined to succeed. I will definately recommend this film to my family and friends .

    Ashmina seeks self-determination in a patriachal society

    The film shows a young woman in Nepal, who wants a more self-determined life and thereby encounters social and family boundaries. It is frightening, as the story also reminds of our own holiday experiences with locals and the arrogance of western travelers hurts. The film is quietly told, but has a certain tension in the background. It stimulates reflection and is aesthetically pleasing.

    EXPENSIVE SPORTS IN POOR COUNTRIES

    For people who, like me, watch many sports films every year, "Ashmina" is the witness we missed. An excellent photograph completes this emotional complaint of other faces of the sport.
