'Snow Leopard Sisters', directed by Andrew Lynch, Ben Ayers and Sonam Choekyi Lama, and edited by me, Katie Bryer, has its World Premiere at SXSW in March.
'An unlikely friendship between two indigenous women, set against a dramatic decline in the snow leopard population. When local conservationist Tshiring Lhamu Lama learns about a snow leopard killing a family’s entire goat herd, she returns home to convince the family not to kill the animal in retaliation. The family’s young daughter, Tenzin Bhuti Gurung, accepts an offer to apprentice with Tshiring to escape an arranged marriage, and the pair travel together across the spectacular Himalayan landscape in search of the mysterious snow leopard. Can they find their own voice amidst centuries-old patriarchy, and save snow leopards despite a conservation industry failing to deliver change?'
The film is partnering with the Snow Leopard Conservancy for their impact campaign. You can read more here:
