Since February 1996, the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) has been waging a
violent struggle in a bid to capture state power in Nepal. From its humble
beginnings in five districts, the insurgency has spread all over the country and has
now become the foremost challenge facing the state. In early 2001, the filmmaker
accompanied a group of journalists on a journey to Rolpa, Rukum and Jajarkot,
three districts in far-western Nepal that make up the stronghold of the Maoists.
Using footage shot over 26 days in the tough mountainous terrain of the region,
the film attempts to understand the causes underlying the rise of the Maoists, and
its effect on the local population.
Dhurba Basnet began filmmaking as a cameraman with Nepal Televison (NTV) in
June 1985, and began freelancing from 1993. He has served as a cameraman for
various international broadcasting agencies. The Killing Terraces is his first
independent documentary.

I think it's great work, and i would love to see it too but when i emailed the responsible person to know how much it costs to buy the movie(if it's possible) and mail it to US, i got an email back saying that it costs $168 + shipping. Hey, i'd love to see that movie but honestly, i can't spend more than $15-20 for that. Anyway, hope it'll come into Us for public viewers.
