‘Even When I Fall’ tells the story of three young Nepali women who are all survivors of human trafficking into corrupt big-top circuses across India. They met as teenagers in a Kathmandu refuge after they had been rescued, and it is here that we begin our story – in the often overlooked aftermath of a childhood spent in captivity and forced labour. They were inadvertently left with a secret weapon by their captors: their breathtaking skill as circus performers. The film traces their journey as they work hard with 10 other survivors of human trafficking to build Circus Kathmandu – Nepal’s first and only circus – following their stories as they face the families that sold them and seek acceptance within their own communities.
‘Even When I Fall’ has been five years in the making and we're currently raising the final funds needed to finish it. Kickstarter is an all or nothing platform and we only have a few days to raise the full amount. Please join us and help finish the film.
