Victims of Maoism speak out

by Josh Lustig | August 2006

As part of the documentary I'm working on, I joined a protest by a group of victims of the Maoist conflict. All of the children taking part have been displaced from their homes, many have lost close family members and have been traumatically affected due to the conflict. The placards and slogans asked for compensation to be paid to the families and for those killed to be recognized as martyrs.

Try buming this ‘marlboro man’ for a cigarette or even a light. Alrite baaje, your semi-cold stare and scruffy looks gets you in on my list as a potential ‘Nepali Eastwood’- ready to take on the Maoist gang.

On a serious note, Josh, thank you for the pictures. I presume you are making a documentary on same/similar topic as well. I hope you’ll come back and provide us with more of your ‘stories’ later.
