Join us for an exclusive online screening of the new feature documentary I Am Belmaya, and afterwards for a live Q&A with Director Sue Carpenter and Jo Bega, Chief Executive of Child Rescue Nepal, along with highlights of a pre-recorded Q&A with Belmaya Nepali.

Your chance to see this beautiful, inspirational film, set in Nepal, before its public release on 11 October. A story 14 years in the making, I Am Belmaya follows an uneducated young Dalit woman’s transformational journey from subjugated wife to award-winning documentary filmmaker.

"I am hugely touched and impressed by this beautiful work. A daring and heartbreaking film, which fills one with hope and admiration. Five shining stars from me” - Joanna Lumley

Tickets and Donations

This is a charity/philanthropic event, with a minimum donation of £10 per person, but we would be most grateful for donations above this sum. When you click on the ticket link, you will find just one ticket option - an empty box for you to fill in your donation amount. Please enter a minimum of £10 per person + any extra donation = total amount.

All profits will be split equally between CRN (for Marigold House, their safe house for girls), and Tideturner Films (towards an international release of the film to amplify the film's important messages, with 20% of Tideturner's share going direct to Belmaya and her daughter).

NB We are listing this event with a 'Donation' only ticket option, because this minimises Eventbrite admin and payment processing fees - meaning that 100% of your donation goes to support the charity, the film and Belmaya.

This event is for ticket holders only. Please do not share the film or Q&A links.
