From the producers of Sweetgrass and Leviathan, comes a stunning new journey. High above Nepal’s mountainous landscape, a cable car carries pilgrims, villagers and the occasional American tourist to an ancient Hindu temple. Filmed entirely inside these cable cars as they glide over fog-enshrouded peaks and remote villages, MANAKAMANA captures the intimate conversations of its passengers, stories about their lives, anecdotes, shared observations on the landscape below and the changing world around them. A story of tradition and technology infused with humor and humanity, MANAKAMANA is an exhilarating, one-of-a-kind documentary.
