Forgive! Forget Not!
Synopsis
Forgive! Forget Not! is an experimental landmark in Nepali documentary filmmaking. Narrated by Nepali journalist Bhaikaji Ghimire, illegally imprisoned in blindfold inside Kathmandu’s infamous Bhairavnath barracks for 15 month, this compelling story provides a mirror to the traumatic events experienced in Nepal during the Maoist insurgency.
