Synopsis
The Brigade of Gurkhas has been a special unit within the British army for 200 years. Boys are recruited for the unit in the mountain villages of Nepal. In Who Will Be a Gurkha, director Kesang Tseten observes how the aspiring soldiers' physical condition, intelligence and motivation are all put to the test. Tough selection isn't only a matter of fitness and muscle power, but also of the right mental preparation.
