Hearts In The Himalayas

    Of the 30,000 humanitarian organizations operating in Nepal, one tiny Nepalese NGO accomplished what no other mission could. Award-winning humanitarian journalist Debi Lang spent two years documenting the efforts of this humanitarian organization, which has made a significant impact in the lives of thousands of rural Nepalese villagers.
Hearts In The Himalayas profiles the efforts of Himalayan HealthCare (HHC), a driven and dedicated volunteer organization that, for the last twenty years has provided medical care, education, and income generation opportunities to the mostly forgotten people living in the remote foothills of the Ganesh-Himal mountain range.
HHC volunteers, led by tenacious co-founder Anil Parajuli and his dedicated Nepalese staff, endure harsh conditions and treacherous terrain during a trek to bring much needed medical and dental care to these areas. The film integrates compelling footage shot during an Everest-size expedition fraught by challenges with a powerful narrative as Parajuli takes them into the stunning beauty of the Himalayas which mask the brutal conditions and poverty the villagers face everyday.

The film was fully produced by Caring For The World Films and has received 15 international awards and film festival invitations. Directed, shot and edited by Debi Lang. Music by Michael Aiken and Sound Design by John Dennis.
