The much anticipated documentary film, ‘Mira Rai – the story of a spirited Nepali village girl on a journey to become a world recognised mountain runner’, has finally been released online. The 42-minute film about the most successful Nepalese trail runner is now available on Vimeo and you can watch it for $9.99. All the proceeds will go directly towards the screening of the film around various parts of Nepal and to help Nepalese girls to participate in sports.
Mira Rai is not only the most successful Nepalese trail runner but definitely one of the most successful Nepalese athletes who has achieved international recognition in such a young age of 25. A village girl from Bhojpur who dropped out of school at 14 and joined Maoist rebels for two years, has not only taken part in around two dozens of competitions around the world so far but also placed first position at various prestigious races in Hong Kong, Italy and France.
The film shows the extraordinary journey of this inspirational athlete. The film produced and directed by Lloyd Belcher in partnership with Trail Running Nepal features Lizzy Hawker (Ultra Runner & Author), Richard Bull (Trail Running Nepal), Subina Shrestha (Al Jazeera) and Niraj Karki (Nepal National Climbing Champion) along with the athlete herself.
You can use your paypal account or a credit card to pay to watch the film. Enjoy and get inspired!
