Still She Rides
Documentary
Los Angeles Premiere
Still She Rides reveals the untold stories of Nepali women who face daily harassment on public transportation, yet continue to move forward with courage and resilience. Through intimate testimonies, the film uncovers how fear and silence restrict women’s education, careers, and independence, while experts from academia, NGOs, and the transportation industry expose the cultural and structural causes behind these barriers. By linking gender-based harassment to Nepal’s climate goals, the documentary highlights how unsafe public transit undermines both women’s rights and sustainable development. At its heart, Still She Rides is a call to action—urging collective responsibility, cultural change, and innovative solutions so that every woman can travel safely, freely, and with dignity.
