Between the Mountain and the Sky:
After graduating high school in 2005, Maggie Doyne embarked on a gap year and met Tope, a now-grown Nepalese orphan caring for orphaned children. United in purpose, they pooled resources to establish a children’s home, women’s empowerment program, and school in Nepal.
Filmed over 20 years, this inspiring and remarkable true story explores resilience, love’s impact in loss, and a family’s enduring strength to find and rekindle hope in the darkest times.
