Date of Completion: 2025 | Run Time: 92 minutes | Languages: English and Nepali with English, Italian, and Spanish subtitles | Captions: Yes | Includes: Transcript & Discussion Guide | Director: Jeremy Power Regimbal | Producers: Shuli Harel, Ashley Edouard & Jeremy Power Regimbal | Executive Producers: Mark Duplass, Mel Eslyn, Jay Duplass, Karen Mulvaney, Tom Mulvaney, S. Dillard Kirby & Adrienne Kirby, Eileen Quick & Les Quick

From the Duplass Brothers, BETWEEN THE MOUNTAIN AND THE SKY follows CNN Hero Maggie Doyne and Top Malla over twenty years as they build a home that becomes a family to more than fifty orphaned children in Nepal. At the height of this journey, an unimaginable loss shatters everything, and the filmmaker steps from behind the camera, deepening the story into a meditation on grief, resilience, and the power of love to heal.

Through a mix of raw home videos and vérité footage captured through a lens of love, the film reaches a rare level of intimacy, resisting staged interviews, makeup, and talking heads to reveal something far more human. It offers an unfiltered look at compassion that runs deeper than headlines and heroism, revealing a raw portrait of motherhood, loss, and the quiet courage to keep going.

Honest, soul-baring, and deeply human, it reminds us that healing begins the moment we stop pretending we’re unbreakable.
