Waiting for Mamu is a beautifully told story of Pushpa Basnet (2012 CNN Humanitarian Hero) and her work to release and care for the young children imprisoned with their parents in Nepal. It is a story of struggle and of hope. It shows a dark side of the difficult economy and the power of relentless love this young woman has for these engaging children.
A short film, we were quickly transported deep into Pushpa's world. The images, music and the telling of the tale were woven together masterfully to draw the audience into every scene. We fell in love with those beautiful, charming, funny kids. We fell in love with Pushpa Basnet, the unlikely savior working tirelessly to rescue children from a legal system that robs them of their childhood. When it came to an end, we wanted more. I highly recommend this movie. I hope they are planning a sequel.
