This documentary shows the 200 years old selection process of Nepalese youth into British Gurkha. It has been screened at many national and international film festivals and has won numerous jury and viewers awards. It is directed by Kesang Tseten.Last year, we celebrated two hundred years of Gurkha service to the British Crown. Serving loyally and bravely in many conflicts around the world, Gurkha soldiers are a key part of the British Army. And I should know, as I was one myself.I served with the Brigade of Gurkhas from 1998 to 2012, and my new book, Light & Life in the Middle Hills, documents the land, the lives and the experiences of Nepal’s inhabitants through a lens.There is always more to be learned about the Gurkhas. Even now, when soldiers from 2nd Battalion, the Royal Gurkha Rifles, are on operational duty in Afghanistan, many don’t know some of the most interesting facts about this incredible institution.
