Ashmina

SYNOPSIS

Nestled between a beautiful lake and the Himalayas, Ashmina, 13, lives with her family on the outskirts of Pokhara, Nepal, the paragliding capital of the world. This remote and traditional town is also a busy tourist destination where the locals are profoundly affected by swarms of tourists who visit daily. Forced to skip school, Ashmina helps her family make ends meet by working at the landing field, packing the parachutes of foreign pilots in return for  small change.
