Sunita KC, British Council International Climate Change Champion 2010 and a mass communication and journalism student, prepared the 25-minute-long documentary taking eight months.[break]
She proposed the documentary when she applied for the British Council International Climate Change Champion and has been working on it since July 2010.
“The documentary portrays the problems women face due to climate change while doing their daily chores such as collecting grass, firewood, drinking water, and agricultural works,” says Sunita KC. “The workshops and seminars on climate change are conducted in the capital from time to time, but the real sufferers are in the villages and they don’t know about it,” she says.
“This documentary has tried to bring to light what problems the real sufferers of climate change have been going through,” she adds.
She prepared the documentary with funding from WWF, Practical Action Nepal and the awarded 1,000 pounds she had received when she became the climate champion.
KC also plans to screen the documentary for the Constituent Assembly members.
The documentary will be uploaded on the British Council’s website and storycycle.com.
