ABOUT THE FILM
This is a true story.

Twenty years ago, Dolma was manipulated and sold into human trafficking.  Today, Dolma works to free other girls from the fate she once suffered.

Firebird follows Dolma as she travels by bus from rural Nepal to a place she never thought she would see again: the brothel in India where her childhood was stolen. The journey is not only across a border but back into her past. She recalls the promises that lured her from home, the violence that followed, and the silence she learned to survive.

Starring Dolma and her real niece, and performed by Nepali nationals, Firebird is a fearless act of survivor-led defiance.

The film is meant to spark conversation, inspire empathy, and drive action to dismantle the business of sex trafficking.

Presented by Ally Global Foundation and Atlas Free with Apple of God’s Eyes Nepal


“If telling my story can help girls escape brothels or any kind of sexual abuse, I will keep telling it. I believe stories like this can open eyes, move hearts, and inspire action.”

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

“I watched Firebird sitting next to my sister. And then, in the final moments, you realize Dolma is still looking for hers. I don’t think I’ll ever forget what it felt like to sit safely beside my sister while realizing that. Firebird made this fight feel unbearably personal. I left heartbroken, furious, and on fire to do something.”
