Nepal is a very tough place to be a child. The people of Nepal have endured decades of political instability and thousands of children are displaced and living in desperate situations. Children sold into child slavery are as young as 6 years of age, others are neglected, abandoned, orphaned. With freedom and a chance to dream… Leaders are born. Nestled in the Kathmandu valley of Nepal, there is a very special place where children are free for the first time. Filmed over the course of 7 years, “What It Takes To Be Extraordinary” shares the story of one inspirational man who is selflessly dedicating his life to educate, empower & care for impoverished children throughout Nepal, and the many stories of this extraordinary family of over 140 children… who are the future of Nepal. ———— Featuring Narration by: Actress Amanda Tapping (Sanctuary, Stargate SG-1 and The X-files) and Musical performances by sitar master Anwar Khurshid (Life of Pi, Kama Sutra and Love Guru).
