Event Details : 'Bahadur: The Accidental Brave' film screening. 
Labour migration to India has traditionally been an important economic resource for Nepalese households. Migrant workers in Mumbai are prone to high-risk sexual behaviour because of the freedom and the access to intoxicants and sex-workers. Many contract HIV and infect their spouses when they return, and their children are born with HIV. 
Far west Nepal is reeling under a micro-epidemic with the notorious name, ‘Mumbaiyya rog’. The documentary is an in-depth look into the ‘Bahadur’ (brave) Nepalese migrant’s life, his struggle for survival, and his helplessness to improve his lot in the socio-economic and political context.
Followed by a discussion with the film-maker, initiated by Mrs Anjali Gopalan, Executive Director, the Naz
Foundation.
