      [introduction]
      2001. A small village in northern Nepal experiences a brief ceasefire from the civil war caused by Maoist Communists that has divided the village. Prakash and Kiran, two boys who have nurtured a friendship despite being of different castes, raise a black hen in order to make a living off selling its eggs. One day they leave on a journey to find the hen when it goes missing. What they witness, however, is a harsh reality they had not noticed…. The feature length debut by Min Bahadur BHAM, “The Black Hen” is a tour de force depicting the state of Nepal in the midst of civil war through the eyes of two young boys. The expanding violence amid exquisite scenery brings to mind the unrest occurring in different places throughout the world. Winner of the best film award at the Venice International Film Critics Week.
