Mugu, in Western Nepal, is one of the least developed regions of the country. According to the 2011 Nepal Census, 90% of women in Mugu are illiterate. Set against the harsh but beautiful backdrop of this region, Sunakali is an uplifting documentary of Mugu’s women’s soccer team and their journey to the national championship. Here, a girl’s passion for football can help her to pursue her dream and break free from the fate of most girls in the village.
