She Walks A Line
Directed by Timothy Stuart Lovell
The only feature length doc we have selected out of 40+ submissions! She Walks a Line is a gripping documentary that reveals the harrowing journey of thousands of young Nepali women and girls who are coerced across the border into India each year. Once across the notoriously porous 1,000-mile frontier, most are sold into the sex industry, forced into domestic servitude or subjected to organ and skin harvesting. This border has become one of the world’s most prolific human trafficking routes. Amidst international indifference, one Nepali woman, Shanta Sapkota, has taken a courageous stand to combat this humanitarian crisis. Driven by heartbreak and a fierce determination, she leads a team of female anti-human trafficking operatives at the Mahendranagar crossing, a critical checkpoint where the fate of many young lives hangs in the balance. This exclusively nonwhite, female-led documentary takes the audience deep into the heart of this mission. Through the eyes of rescuers, victims, and traffickers, we witness the raw emotions, heart-wrenching struggles, and moments of triumph that define this battle against human trafficking. At its core, She Walks a Line is a story of empowerment—of women fighting for justice, of traffickers manipulating the vulnerable, and of a divine calling that has inspired one woman to stand her ground in the face of adversity. This film not only tells a story; it ignites a movement.

Letters
Directed by Aysel Küçüksu
A mother and daughter uncover the letters they wrote to each other a decade ago. Can they face the truths they once shared? How much of ourselves have we left behind in words meant for others? Letters explores the secrets, confessions, and hidden truths sealed within forgotten letters. What if we could read the words we once wrote—sentiments we thought we’d never see again? In revisiting these pieces of our past, we uncover not only lost memories but insights into who we were, who we are, and who we hoped to become.
