The 39-minute-long documentary deals with the issue of water scarcity in Kathmandu Valley. The film took over five years to complete and includes footages compiled over the period. It explores the acute problems the city has been facing due to its haphazard urbanisation and unmanaged development.
Talking about the upcoming screening of the film, Nepal said, “The problem of water scarcity is something that has been nagging the Valley for some decades now. I’ve tried to reflect this crisis in my documentary and I hope that it’ll fare well in the festival.’’
Nepal has been working in the field for about a decade now. His previous documentaries Jatra Hadigaun Ko and Nomads But Not had won awards in the Seventh Annual International Indigenous Film Festival and Kathmandu Short Film Festival respectively.
