She Wants to Talk to You

Anita Wen-Shin CHANG 2001 USA/Nepal color 29min English/Nepālī DCP
In October of 1999 in Kathmandu, three 13-year old Nepali girls named Monika Rasali, Sushma Sada and Vinita Shrestha bravely took the unique opportunity to share their ideas with the filmmaker on being girls in Nepal, marriage, friendship, love, loneliness, their dreams, and God. These recordings provide a complex and poignant framework for three Nepali women living in the U.S to reflect on their own struggle, exile and quest for liberation.
