Devi Documentary

🌟CZECH PREMIERE🌟 Thrilled to announce that Devi @devidocumentary , directed by Subina Shrestha @shresthasubina1 will have its Czech Republic premiere at the One World International Human Rights Film Festival @jedensvetcz (March 11 - 19, 2026) 🎬 #Prague #CzechRepublic 📅 Screening Dates: March 14, 2026 | Saturday | Prague Municipal Library – Large Hall | 18:00 (with Q&A) @knihovna_praha March 16, 2026 | Monday | Světozor Cinema – Small Hall | 18:30 @kinosvetozor 🌟Section: Everyday Courage 🎟️ Tickets via www.oneworld.cz Synopsis: In 1997, seventeen-year-old Devi was arrested, accused of being a rebel, tortured, and r*ped in custody. A civil war had just begun. Rebel leaders revealed her as a r*pe ‘victim’. Tagged with this shameful taboo, Devi battled depression, social ostracism, joined the rebel frontlines, and rose through the ranks, even serving as a member of the parliament when the war ended. Shot as an immersive verité, the film travels with Devi, as she consolidates the voices of survivors. #documentary #nepalifilm #nepalidocumentary #filmfestival #distribution @affdistribution @seesaw_pictures @rosiepelican @heejungoooh

What does documentary impact feel like? Devi’s story began in silence, buried by stigma and ignored by the state. Today, she speaks on a global stage - a panellist at the Human Rights Council in Geneva on “Strengthening Gender Perspectives in Transitional Justice Processes.” This is the power of documentary: not just to inform, but to honuor voices once unheard, and to help carry them where they cannot be ignored.

We are hugely grateful at this moment in time in Nepal’s history to learn our documentary, Devi, the story of one woman’s fight for justice for thousands of others…has won the “Views of Asia award” at @gificfestival the Guadix Iridiscente International Film Festival in Spain. THANK YOU

“Though she be but little, she is fierce”…just a thirty minute drive from central DC we are having our small but perfectly formed US Premiere Saturday 28th June at 11am. We hope you can make it in order to meet the extraordinary Devi Khadka on screen and hear from the director (via video link), Subina Shrestha, about what still needs to happen to enable women in Nepal to have the thousands of wartime crimes against them properly recognised. Tickets here (and in bio): /events/122097

We live, we learn. And IMPACT seems to be what we are learning fastest…and it is leading to very exciting support for and developments in Devi Khadka’s campaign. PS We are still looking for a festival to premiere Devi in the UK? Anyone interested please do get in touch. #impact

Broadcasting today on @aljazeeraenglish reaching over 440 million households in over 150 countries: DEVI @devidocumentary by Subina Shrestha @shresthasubina1 Devi is a rebel warrior, mother, and sexual violence survivor – for her, Nepal’s Civil War did not end in 2006. As those in power try to erase rape from the history of the war, Devi has to battle her own demons before she can begin to build a movement to fight for justice. @rosiepelican @heejungoooh @seesaw_pictures @mediadante @filmcrewnepal #AlJazeera #AlJazeeraEnglish #Survivor #Feminist #FemaleFilmmaker #Women #Equality #HumanRights #Nepal #Asia #FirstHandFilms #Documentary

Nepal’s TRC has opened up registrations for conflict related sexual violence survivors with a deadline of 21st August. The process, which includes emailing, or going to the TRC office or going to the district attorney general’s office, does not take into account confidentiality or security of the survivors. Devi documentary team is concerned and will keep pushing on to support survivors in every way we can. If you would like to support you can here >>> (LINK IN BIO) /d/63001/devi #impact
