    Return to Nepal dvd cover Return to Nepal
    Date: October 2008
    DVD - 46 minutes -- Purchase - Kensington Tv
    Accompany musician Bruce Cockburn as he returns to the spectacular Himalayan nation after twenty years away. He finds a land where much has changed, with a Maoist government recently elected, women newly empowered and fresh initiatives to deal with the grinding poverty of the majority of the Nepali people. But it’s also a land where, in some of the remotest areas, life is lived in much the same way it has been for centuries -- salt caravans, subsistence farming on steep mountain terraces and off-the-grid villages connected by an ancient network of footpaths.

    Return to Nepal is a revealing glimpse at a corner of the world we know little about, but whose people have much to offer us: spiritual wisdom, tactics for survival in a tough land and shining examples of interdependence and determination.

    This DVD contains more than 15 minutes of acoustic performances of Bruce Cockburn.

    A portion of the proceeds from this title goes to support the programs of USC Canada
