Starting May 14th, audiences can see the film at IFC Theater from May 14–20 with their first two showings featuring Q&As with Maggie Doyne and Jeremy Power Regimbal. Los Angeles will follow with its Special Screening with Q&A on May 28th at Laemmle Noho with Maggie Doyne, Jeremy Power Regimbal and Mark Duplass, followed by a twilight run from 5/30-6/5 at Laemmle Monica. In 2005 after graduating high school, Maggie Doyne embarked on a gap year, where she met Tope Malla, a now grown Nepalese orphan, caring for orphaned children. United in purpose, Maggie and Tope pooled resources to establish a children’s home, women's empowerment program, and school in Nepal. Years later, their relentless efforts led to being honored as a 2015 CNN HERO OF THE YEAR. Just days after the ceremony, Maggie, by then guardian to over fifty Nepalese children, faced the unthinkable upon returning to Nepal, plunging the family into disbelief and despair. After a chance encounter amidst her grief, Maggie allows a filmmaker into her life to document herself, her family, and soon enough, their falling in love. Between the Mountain and the Sky explores resilience, love's impact in loss, and a family's enduring strength to find and rekindle hope in the darkest times. Alongside a team of caregivers, teachers, and community members, she has helped raise nearly 90 children and educate more than 800 students. “For the past eight years, Jeremy has worked to capture the story of our family through his lens,” says Doyne. “I’m so grateful and honored that this documentary will make its way into the world and, hopefully, inspire healing and love for our human family, our children, and our planet.” The festival favorite delivers a powerful, heart-stirring narrative of love, family, resilience through tragedy, and the strength of the human spirit. After its world premiere at the Mountainfilm festival in Telluride, Colorado, where it won both the Audience Choice Award and Student Choice Award. The documentary has continued its winning streak, earning Best Documentary honors at the Dublin Independent film festival and Jakarta Independent Film Festival, and the Audience Awards at the Naples Film Festival, Sedona International Film Festival, and Port Townsend Film Festival.
