We, at Studio Blackline, have volunteered our time, money and resources to a story we believe in and have passion for. We believe this story has immense potential both in terms of its performance as a documentary as well as in the impact it can have on the lives of female guides and porters in the Himalayas.
We are on the lookout for collaborators who can bring this story to life.
