The Inspiring True Story of Maggie Doyne Makes its Theatrical Debut in NY May 14–20 at IFC Center With a Los Angeles Screenings 5/30-6/5 at Laemmle Monica
In 2005 after graduating high school, Maggie Doyne embarked on a gap year, where she met Tope Malla, a now grown Nepalese orphan, caring for orphaned children. United in purpose, Maggie and Tope pooled resources to establish a children’s home, women's empowerment program, and school in Nepal. Years later, their relentless efforts led to being honored as a 2015 CNN HERO OF THE YEAR. Just days after the ceremony, Maggie, by then guardian to over fifty Nepalese children, faced the unthinkable upon returning to Nepal, plunging the family into disbelief and despair.
After a chance encounter amidst her grief, Maggie allows a filmmaker into her life to document herself, her family, and soon enough, their falling in love. Between the Mountain and the Sky explores resilience, love's impact in loss, and a family's enduring strength to find and rekindle hope in the darkest times.
Alongside a team of caregivers, teachers, and community members, she has helped raise nearly 90 children and educate more than 800 students.
“For the past eight years, Jeremy has worked to capture the story of our family through his lens,” says Doyne.
“I’m so grateful and honored that this documentary will make its way into the world and, hopefully, inspire healing and love for our human family, our children, and our planet.”
The festival favorite delivers a powerful, heart-stirring narrative of love, family, resilience through tragedy, and the strength of the human spirit. After its world premiere at the Mountainfilm festival in Telluride, Colorado, where it won both the Audience Choice Award and Student Choice Award.
