Life is tough way up in the remote High Himalayas of Nepal. So some parents pack their kids off from the age of four years old to a school run by a Buddhist monk in Kathmandu. Their hope is that education will give the nippers a better chance in life. Children of the Snow Land follows a group of them on the arduous and lengthy trek home to the highest inhabited place on the planet after more than a decade away in a world of mobile phones and social media. Then an earthquake strikes…
Co-director Zara Balfour will be present for a Q&A after the Orpheus’s screening on Tuesday 19 March.
