SHAKTI

In Kathmandu, a mischievous nine-year-old’s sudden mysterious illness drives her single mother to seek help from a shaman, uncovering buried trauma that binds them both. The story of SHAKTI is inspired by Nepal’s outdated laws that fail to protect Dalit women and girls from rampant sexual violence. Through the lens of a mother-daughter bond, it explores shattered innocence, resilience, and the pursuit of justice in a society divided between tradition and modernity, offering a powerful testament to healing and hope.
