The film tells the story of the Kham Magar tribe that populate the Mid-Western Hills of the Nepal Himalayas. The tribe has been historically marginalised and underrepresented in the history of the Himalayas. The rich culture of shamanic and healing practices of the Kham Magar have been depicted in the well known ethnographic film: Shamans of the Blind Country (1981), filmed by the German Anthropologist Michael Oppitz. Today the Kham Magars struggle to preserve their cultural heritage, and are heavily affected by the processes of globalisation. This is a film about them.
