In 2005 after graduating high school, Maggie Doyne embarked on a gap year, where she met Tope, a now grown Nepalese orphan, caring for orphaned children.

United in purpose, Maggie and Tope pooled resources to establish a children’s home, women’s empowerment program, and school in Nepal. Years later, their relentless efforts led to being honored as the 2015 CNN HERO OF THE YEAR. But days after the award ceremony, Maggie, by then guardian to over fifty Nepalese children, faced the unthinkable, plunging the family into disbelief and despair.

After a chance encounter amidst her grief, Maggie allows a filmmaker into her life to document herself, her family, and soon enough, their falling in love. “Between the Mountain and the Sky” explores resilience, love’s impact in loss, and a family’s enduring strength to find and rekindle hope in the darkest times.

Tickets are available via the Buy Tickets link above and also at the door.
