Home is not a Place

Home Is Not a Place follows a filmmaker’s search into her own family history after learning that her grandmother was kidnapped and forced into marriage. Through conversations with three women from her village, spanning three generations, the film examines the lasting effects of bride kidnapping in Nepal and how its influence continues to shape ideas of consent, marriage, and womanhood. Told through observation and personal testimony, the film looks at how women live with, respond to, and resist practices that have shaped their lives.

Director: Lhakpa Choedon Lama
