LEPER: Life Beyond Stigma - offers a rare and intimate glimpse into a village of lepers in rural Nepal. Villagers speak openly and emotionally about the myriad stigmas and misunderstandings that surround the disease that has marked their bodies and their lives.

SKY BURIAL - documents a common burial custom in Tibet where the bodies of the dead are offered to the vultures as a final act of kindness to living beings... the ultimate gesture of generosity.
