Sarita is his attempt to come to terms with this knowledge. After throwing out footage for a more conventional documentary, Basso has instead made an educational musical, one revolving around a cast of students for whom Khudunabari is the only home they’ve ever known. Thirteen-year-old Sarita (Sasha Biswas) plays a dual role: a protagonist in her own drama, and an interviewer standing in for Basso. She wants to know what’s behind the displacement of her family, the resettlement offers to Scandinavia and North America, and the fickle attention of foreign cameras. As in any musical, songs allow Sarita to say the unsayable, pushing against both the Bhutanese government’s suppression of history and the isolation of her people’s struggle. -- By VIFF
