Denmark/Nepal: People tell their stories in documentary

The Danish organization School Life in Nepal made a documentary about two young Dalit people. In the film, the Dalit boy and the girl tell and show different aspects of their life, such as poverty, joy, alcoholism, music, school life, gender issues and their dreams.

Mobilising students
The documentary was shown to Danish students around the same age as the Nepalese boy and girl. Afterwards, several students decided to arrange events where they would tell other people about the living conditions in Nepal or raise funds to the organization. Especially the issues and nuances of poverty (SDG 1) and gender roles (SDG 5) depicted in the movie mobilized them to arrange the event.
