Dhye Dreams
Climate change has desiccated the landscape in the remote Tibetan villages of Upper Mustang, Nepal. Dhye Dreams is a 28-minute documentary that intimately explores the lives of three women fighting against their fate. Their stories highlight the resilience and struggle for the survival of isolated Himalayan villages battling against dramatic climate change.

Inspired by Upper Mustang's women facing climate change, my film explores the intersection of environment, culture, and gender. It highlights silenced voices and the devastating, often forgotten, impact on traditions. This global story seeks to empower and connect.
In spring 2023, inspired by Upper Mustang's climate issues, she began a film highlighting women's perspectives and marginalized voices. As a Dalit filmmaker, her work explores climate change's cultural impact, focusing on interconnected social issues and women's vulnerabilities.
