The film The Sari Soldiers is screening at the Walter Reade Theater, 165 West 65th Street, New York, NY, at the following times:

• Friday, June 20, 9:00 pm Discussion with filmmaker to follow
• Sunday, June 22, 3:30 pm Discussion with filmmaker to follow
• Tuesday, June 24, 1:00 pm

Filmed over three years, during the most historic and pivotal time in Nepal’s modern history, The Sari Soldiers is an extraordinary story of six women’s courageous efforts to shape Nepal’s future in the midst of an escalating civil war. The Sari Soldiers intimately delves into the extraordinary journey of these women on all sides of the conflict, through the democratic revolution that reshapes the country’s future.

The screening on Friday, June 20, will be The Sari Soldiers premiere in North America. This film received the Human Rights Watch Nestor Almendros Prize as well as overall critical acclaim:

Utilizing an impressive impartiality, the director presents a vivid array of women who range from a die-hard Maoist guerrilla leader to a fresh-faced army recruit and a strident student activist.

Congressman James T. Walsh, a Republican, has been in Congress for the last 18 years. Perhaps, he’s the only member in Congress who speaks fluent Nepali and keeps a close tab on Nepal. He was instrumental in drawing considerable Congressional attention to Nepal last year and the years before.

As the Chairman of the United States Congress’ Friends of Ireland, he was closely involved with the Northern Ireland peace process. He’s an influential member of the House Appropriations Committee of Congress that controls the power of the purse.

Journalist John Narayan Parajuli spoke to Congressman Walsh for eKantipur in his office in Washington, D.C. about his experience in Congress, his connection to Nepal and his take on Nepal’s peace process.
