About Priests of the Condemned

Documentary

Synopsis

The film depicts life in Nepal’s leper colonies, where leprosy, now curable, is seen as a divine curse. During the monsoon, when gods leave the Kathmandu Valley, people face afflictions like leprosy. Nepal has 170,000 cases, with many severely disabled and ostracized due to fear and religious beliefs. Lacking support and medical care, they end up as beggars in cities.
