Coming Soon

In partnership with Revelations Entertainment founded by Academy Award-winning actor Morgan Freeman

“Revelations is thrilled to be collaborating with Dana Richie and Backlot Productions on the feature documentary Kumari Girls. It tells the remarkable story of several Nepalese young women who spent their early childhood being worshipped as living goddesses, only to be forced to make an abrupt transition to being just ordinary girls. It’s a tale of courage in the face of extraordinary change. We hope our documentary sheds light on this fascinating tradition and inspires girls everywhere as they face the sometimes overwhelming challenges of entering adulthood.”

- James Younger, EVP Factual, Revelations
