Kadamandu
Synopsis
This documentary is about Kadamandu, a village in Doti in far western Nepal. Instead of heading to Kathmandu, Nepal’s capital and largest metropolitan, men folk from Kadamandu have for generations left for Mumbai as migrant workers because of its relative proximity. In recent years, the migrant workers have been bringing back HIV AIDS along with meager remittances.
