"Urmila: Fuer die Freiheit" tells the hopeful story of a young woman who is fighting for freedom, justice and prospects for young girls in Nepal. Urmila Chaudhary lives in the south of Nepal and was six years old when she was sold by her parents as Kamalari, a household slave, in the capital. Only 12 years later, she got her liberation. With her own freedom, Urmila was not satisfied, from her experience she draws the power that she wants to use for other girls in her country. Confidently, she fights for the organization "Freed Kamalari Development Forum" (FKDF) against the officially abolished serfdom and thus against centuries-old social structures in her home.
