A Woman’s Land

Directed by Alina Peng and Charles Zhang

Karma has not seen a successful harvest in 10 years. Bhutan, despite being one the world’s two carbon-negative countries, has been adversely impacted by climate change. A recent rise in global temperatures has led to an insufficient water supply, putting its farm-dependent culture at risk. Women, who make up the majority of the country’s agricultural industry, are on the front lines when it comes to adaptation and solutioning. As many men leave rural Talo to pursue jobs in urban centers, the village women must bear the weight of tending to both fields and family. This documentary explores the stories of Karma and these communities of women who work together to overcome the water crisis plaguing their land.

Directed and produced by Alina Peng and Charles Zhang
