Directors Statement on how the idea of making this film came.
How did the idea occur of making a documentary film about it?
Jass : While I was shooting my previous documentary in Manang I spend a lot of time with the children there. They used to be around me all the time while I was filming it. I used to tell them to go school but they had reason not going there. Some of them had to work in the fields, some of them had no books or stationeries etc. I personally went visit the school and saw that the schools in those regions were really in bad conditions. The students had to walk very far every day. Crossing rivers, and even walk while snowing. I started comparing with the city schools and there were so different. The life of the children in the cities has such a easy life. They get Tiffin boxes for lunch, school bus picks them for there door steps but nothing for the students in the Himalayan regions.
After the film is done what are your plans?
Jass : The film will be screened for fund raising. We will approach Nepali communities abroad and Non profit organizations around the world to organize shows and generate fund to help these children. The raised fund will be given to the village community. They will spend depending on the needs of the students like buying text books, note books, pencils, cloths, books for the library or build a library. Repair floors, leaking roof, drinking water arrangements, first aids etc.
I would like to thanks you for this interview and would like to invite every indivisuals to come forword to support this nobel cause.
