"Beneath Everest, Nepal Reborn" – A Documentary

Born and raised in Parbat of the Dhaulagiri Zone, Tulsi Bhandari, 35, is a graduate in Social Work from the Michigan Grand Valley College in the US.

A professional social worker, Bhandari is the maker of “Beneath Everest, Nepal Reborn,” a documentary which captures Nepal while in its turbulent transition from a monarchy-ruled Nepal to a new Federal Democratic Republic.

Filmed over four years, “Beneath Everest” documents some of the most critical defining moments in Nepal’s modern history and describes them. In his first documentary, Bhandari has managed to capture the lives of the everyday Nepalis, and questions some of the prominent political leaders.

The film, which had its New York premiere at the Asia Society headquarters in New York on December 1, 2009, has been screened at around 25 venues in the capital since mid 2010. Still on its road show, the film has traveled across the country and will reach Sauraha next week
