GC-06. Between The Mountain and The Sky

Nepal, Feature Documentary, 2024, 94 min

Based on the book ‘Between the Mountain and the Sky’ by Maggie Doyne

In 2005 after graduating high school, Maggie Doyne embarked on a gap year in Nepal where she met Tope, a now grown Nepalese orphan, caring for orphaned children. United in purpose, Maggie and Tope pooled resources to establish a children’s home. There were triumphs and tragedies, but Maggie and Tope showed profound magic within their 50-child family and were honored as the 2015 CNN Hero of the Year. But days after the award ceremony, Maggie faced an unimaginable loss. After a chance encounter amidst her grief, Maggie allows this film’s director into her life to document her life in Nepal, her family, and soon enough, their heartwarming love story. Between the Mountain and the Sky explores resilience, love's powerful impact in loss, and a family's enduring strength to find hope in the darkest times. PARTIALLY SUBTITLED
