The Story
Between two worlds, one search.
Faisal Mustafa grew up in Los Angeles, the son of a mixed Hindu–Muslim family, far from the Himalayan nation his parents once called home. When he comes to believe his father has left to join the war in Syria, Faisal travels to Kathmandu to find him.
What he finds instead is a city that remembers him — and a violent conflict he cannot walk away from. When his grandfather is murdered by a local crime lord, Faisal is drawn into a battle that forces him to confront who he is, where he comes from, and what he is willing to fight for.
Shot in Kathmandu and Los Angeles, The Man from Kathmandu is the first English-language Nepali feature film — a story of identity, faith, and homecoming told through the lens of a generation caught between worlds.
