POOJA, SIR 

Two boys have been kidnapped in a border town in southern Nepal. Inspector Pooja is deployed from Kathmandu to solve the case, but her investigations are complicated every day by misogyny, systematic discrimination against the Madhesi population and political influence. Together with Madhesi Mamada, she relentlessly follows the clues and evidence against a backdrop of flaring unrest. This crime story leads deep into a society characterised by patriarchal structures, homophobia and racism towards Nepalese people with darker skin.
