SYNOPSIS
One of America’s more recent immigrants, the Nepali, Tibetan and Bhutanese, have shaped a piece of America in their own image in Jackson Heights, Queens. The result is a Himalayan vortex, America and the shangrilaic home they left behind, replete with momo, dal bhat and ema datse eateries, Buddhist monasteries and Hindu temples, and a way of caring for their fellow men and women. The diasporic community presents a brand of diversity against the clamour for greater insularity and exclusionism.
NOTE
The film seeks to show the varied Himalayan peoples in their “natural” mode of integrating to America.
