Synopsis
“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 along the Nepali border, where the fate of many young lives hangs in the balance.
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.
