Tashi’s Turbine

For centuries, the inhabitants of Namdok, a village nestled in the Upper Mustang region of Nepal, have lived without electricity, relying on sparse candlelight through cold and windy nights. Despite limited resources, local activist Tashi Bista is determined to bring light to the remote village by installing a makeshift wind turbine. Directed by Nepali American filmmaker Amitabh Joshi, Tashi’s Turbine is an uplifting tale of one small village’s attempt to improve its lot.
