KARMA: A JOURNEY TO CONSCIOUSNESS (2005)
Karma is a thoughtful Nepalese film made by a stellar cast and crew, depicting a heartfelt story of a nun from Mustang who goes through a spiritual transformation. The nuns and monks are shown as real people with emotions, and this depiction helps viewers forge a real connection with them. The film also touches on many issues, like girl trafficking, caste-based discrimination, and casual racism. However these issues aren’t in-your-face to manipulate the emotions of the viewers, rather they are presented with sensitivity, increasing its overall impact. Karma’s journey becomes our journey to see the world anew.
Discussion will follow the film. (English subtitles, 90 minutes)
