This summer, Amitabha is producing his thesis film, a documentary titled Mustang Rising.
Mustang Rising weaves the story of one woman and two men from Mustang who are striving to better their communities, within the backdrop of a nation under extreme political volatility.
Mustang, like most of the northern regions bordering Tibet, is economically deprived and lacks basic social services.
Today, after a decade of insurgency and rising poverty, 1.9 million Nepalese out of a total population of 26 million, now work as migrants in other countries.
Many Mustangi youths are among them. Some have remained and attempt to sustainably develop the region through renewable energy.
