Phantom Theater and The Big Picture Theater and Cafe in Waitsfield, VT are hosting a special screening of the feature documentary BAATO ahead of the film's digital release on October 18th. Filmed in eastern Nepal the documentary film BAATO is a beautifully crafted movie that showcases a family's winter migration by foot from their village high in the Himalaya to sell local medicinal plants in lowland urban markets. A new highway is being built and will transform this roadless Himalayan valley permanently - bringing new challenges, new opportunities, and ultimately a new way of being to those who live along its path. This documentary film is a deep dive into a way of life that is in the midst of a slow and chaotic, yet inexorable transition(excerpt.
