This incredible documentary tells the story of young trafficking survivors who reclaim their performance skills by forming Nepal’s first circus, Circus Kathmandu.
Travel with them as they piece together their broken memories in the Kathmandu Valley, through the poverty-stricken border towns of the Terai plains and finally to the famous Big Top at Glastonbury Festival.
