Nepalese movie Matribhumi on Sunday 26 September 2010 in Amsterdam

‘I have crisscrossed much of Nepal. From the air, you see the incredible geographic diversity of this country, how it is laid out like a staircase to the heavens. From the hazy plains, through the rippled blue-green midhills to the dazzling saw-tooth of the northern horizon. And wherever I arrive, I meet Nepali men and women who are living proof of how varied topography is reflected in Nepal's ethnic mosaic.

During the civil war, the Nepalese people had just one concern ‘Peace’. Today, four years since the civil war ended, Nepali are confused, disillusioned and fearful about their future. Annually approximately three millions of Nepalese youth and adult fly abroad for job and other purposes. This entails that Nepal will be burdened by old and infants people in the nearest years.

Matribhumi (motherland) is a fiction (true story) movie in Bollywood genre with a clear message to the youth of Nepali living abroad. Matribhumi appeals the youth to return back to their home country after achieving their goal and invest their earned money in their own country and utilize the gained skills to develop the country. The breathtaking sceneries of Jomsom, Muktinath and other places can be seen in the movie. Matribhumi is directed by Narayan Puri, one of the famous movie makers of Nepal. Half of the movie is shoot in Dubai.
