*Tickets: minimum £10 per person*

Please join us for an exclusive online screening of the new feature documentary I Am Belmaya, and afterwards watch a specially recorded Q&A with director Sue Carpenter and co-director Belmaya Nepali, hosted by TV film critic Anna Smith.

Your chance to see this beautiful, inspirational film, set in Nepal, before it is released to the public. 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. Its charm lies in its humour and sorrow, so deftly intermingled on the screen. 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 Nepal Leprosy Trust (towards our community work amongst people affected by leprosy in Nepal), and Tideturner Films (to fund a public 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 ticketing 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.

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