NAR PHU

Amongst an immense and fractured landscape, the Narpha carefully balance their way of life. Accepting the conveniences of modernity whilst retaining the traditional culture of their ancestors.

Nar Phu is a remote valley on the Northern border of the Manang district, Nepal. In this short film we hear Mingmar and Tsewang, two residents of Nar and Phu respectively where they share their hopes and fears about following their unique way of life in this improbable place.
