Half Moon Bay Odd Fellows Movie Night Presents "Snow Leopard Sisters"

In Nepal’s remote Dolpo region, where fewer than 90 snow leopards remain, conservationist Tshiring Lhamu Lama has a mission: to save the endangered animals. She takes on 17-year old Tenzin Bhuti Gurung as her apprentice – a girl whose family has suffered from snow leopard attacks on their livestock.

As they trek through the treacherous yet breathtaking Himalayan landscape, Tshiring helps Tenzin understand the delicate balance between protecting wildlife and supporting herding communities. Through intimate footage and stunning cinematography, Snow Leopard Sisters captures the power of women’s voices in shaping a better future for themselves and the elusive snow leopard.

Snow Leopard Conservancy is proud to be the impact partner for the feature length documentary, Snow Leopard Sisters, highlighting the work of our longstanding local partner Tshiring Lhamu Lama and her ground-breaking conservation efforts to preserve the snow leopard population in her home district of Dolpo, Nepal. We are working together to reduce retaliatory killings through local education programming, construction of predator-proof corrals, and establishing a green local economy centered on snow leopard conservation. Please join our Snow Leopard Sisters Impact Campaign.

Following the screening will be an in-person discussion with event hosts Wendy and Karma Lama of KarmaQuest Ecotourism and Adventure Travel and Karen Campbell of Snow Leopard Conservancy. Filmmakers Ben Ayers and Sonam Choekyi Lama will join remotely via livestream.

General admission is $15 per person. Ticket proceeds will be shared with The Snow Leopard Conservancy.
