OK GANG! I am pleased to share this with you as NOT ENOUGH, not nearly enough, PEOPLE HAVE SEEN THIS.
Beyond The Valley, is the Nepalese documentary by Robert Reis and Dan Popa [NATALI FILM], shot last May.
Its a great great project, and a wonderfully shot (directed, edited, etc) documentary.

Though this is just a teaser, soon - hopefully after the holidays - you will be able to view this documentary in its entirety as we are planning a screening in Montreal.

Also, check out the photos they took in Nepal
