Nestled between a beautiful lake and the Himalayas, Pohkara Nepal is the paragliding capital of the world. In this remote, traditional village, Ashmina, age thirteen, helps her family make ends meet by working at the landing field, packing the parachutes of foreign pilots in return for small change. An authentic portrayal of the impact that tourism has on indigenous cultures.
