Big News in Nepal and Guest Lecturing

Nepal in the News:

Nepal held the historic constituent assembly elections yesterday. If you have been reading the New York Times or listening to NPR you would have read and hear several people how are participating in our documentary, such as Manjushree Thapa, David Pottie, Kunda Dixit, Ian Martin, Prachanda and Jimmy Carter. It is good to see that the same people who are contributing to these big media outlets are also working with us and that this is getting some news penetration domestically.

Guest Lecturing:

Today I was invited to speak in the Issues in Cross Cultural Mental Health at Emory University. The discussion went well and I showed the preview of the documentary to the group of undergraduate students. The feedback was very positive; one student said that he thought it was very powerful. Most of the student seemed interested in the film and wanted to know when and where they could the full documentary, so that is a good sign.
