Youth RISE Nepal documentary 'Journey of Change'

18 June 2013

Youth RISE Nepal's short documentary film 'Journey of Change' was selected as the winner of the 9th International Harm Reduction Film Festival. The Film Festival took place last week in Vilnius, Lithuania in conjunction with the International Harm Reduction Conference.

'Journey of Change' was filmed in 5 cities in Nepal and uncovers the difficult realities faced by young people who use drugs in Nepal and the challenges they face in accessing services. It provides a unique insight into Nepal's young drug using communities, and was filmed whilst exploring these issues for a Youth RISE research project. The research report will also be published soon.
