Devi Khadka is leading a quiet resistance. As she travels around Nepal, listening to stories of wartime rape survivors, and creating a unified voice for justice, she knows that she’s poking a hornet’s nest. Nepal’s leaders want to bury the shameful truth of wartime rape. As the only public face of survivors, Devi has decided that she can no longer stay silent. But her TikTok dancer teenage daughter, Rosy,  just wants her to be a mum. In 1997, seventeen-year-old Devi, was arrested, accused of being a rebel, tortured, and raped in custody. A civil war had just begun. Rebel leaders revealed her as a rape ‘victim’. Tagged with this shameful taboo, Devi battled depression, social ostracism, joined the rebel frontlines, and rose through the ranks, even serving as a member of the parliament when the war ended. Shot as an immersive verité, the film travels with Devi, as she consolidates the voices of survivors. As Devi confronts her former lawyer and seeks consolation from her counsellor, the film dives into deeply intimate and vulnerable moments. Through her diary, supported by archives, Devi reconstructs history erased to rewrite the destiny of thousands of women in Nepal.

The impact campaign of our film, centered on protagonist Devi's struggle for justice for Nepal's conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) victims, aims to protect the rights of women and sexual assault survivors. By spotlighting this critical issue, the film seeks to influence the rule of law in Nepal and globally. It will build a community to demand action from Nepal's authorities, change perceptions of survivors, enhance support networks for female victims, and stimulate international dialogue on Nepal's justice system deficiencies. This campaign contributes significantly to the global movement for women's rights.
