“gripping, occasionally dreamlike and unexpectedly uplifting” The Times
“a privilege to hear these women tell their stories in their own clear-eyed words” The Guardian
Sheetal and Saraswoti met as teenagers in a Kathmandu refuge, both survivors of child trafficking to Indian circuses. They had been rescued and brought back across the border to Nepal – but barely remembered their home.
Even When I Fall traces their journey over six years, as they reclaim their breath-taking skills as circus artists and begin to build a future against the odds. Along with 11 other young trafficking survivors, they form Circus Kathmandu – Nepal’s first and only circus – creating a livelihood for themselves and simultaneously working to educate and challenge the deep- seated stigma against trafficked women.
This intimate, beautiful film harnesses the visual power of circus to give a unique perspective into the complex world of human trafficking.
