    • Synopsis
    • Devi is a rebel warrior, mother, and sexual violence survivor – for her, Nepal's Civil War did not end in 2006. As those in power try to erase rape from war records, Devi has to battle her own demons before she can begin to build a movement to fight for justice. She persuades the government to rewrite history changing the Transitional Justice law in August 2024 and with it the destiny of thousands of women like Devi.
