Hi All, My name is Lindsey Jacobson and I'm working on a documentary film that will open the world's eyes to the reality of Environmental Refugees, or people who are forced to leave their hometown because of a drastic change in their environment. You can see the start of the project at- http://climatemigrants.com. I know the drought in Nepal forced a lot of farmers to move, but now the earthquake will produce a whole new group of migrants. I'm looking to collect personal stories about this migration and the current situation in Nepal. With the stories I hope to argue for better treatment and provisions for the affected people. I'm based in New York so I'm looking for individuals based here, but I'd be happy to interview anyone elsewhere via skype. The interviews will take as long as you're willing to offer, but typically 1-2 hours in person on camera. If you would at all be interested in sharing your story in English with me, I would greatly appreciate it! The more stories we collect, the better picture I can paint for why the international community needs to create a specific plan for victims of natural disasters. Please feel free to email me if you're interested at lindseyevejacobson@gmail.com. Thank you for your consideration and please know my prayers are with your country in this trying time. Sincerely, Lindsey

Hi Divorceguy, Thank you for writing! I'm not sure if Documentary Films are new to you or the term Environmental Refugee/Climate Migrant so I'll define both. Documentary Films are movies that tell a story using footage in the real world. The goal is typically to document some aspect for reality in order to teach the audience something, or maintain a historical record. In this case I will be creating a record of the issues faced by the people affected by the earhquake in order to persuade the international community to do more to help. Climate Migrants or Environmental Refugees are people who are forced to move from their home because of some drastic change in their environment. Some of the victims of the earthquake will be forced to leave their homes and will then have to migrate to another place. If they want to leave Nepal entirely they could be considered refugees. To participate, we'd only have to speak for a short while. I would ask you a few questions about the earthquake's affect on you and your family, and film our conversation. I would then use the video to help explain how others can help. I hope that makes it a little clearer! Please let me know if you have any other questions! Sincerely, Lindsey

Me and my family lives in Kathmandu, our family don't have drought or moving problem. May be we have water problem since government don't provide adequate drinking water. We use tube well water or we have a deep 20 ft well in our compound.

Lindsey - I think you are in wrong place. This forum is mostly used by neplease who are in US and who are computer literate. Now you have to understand the social side of this. Saying that, most of these people are either from middle class or higher middle class family. It is almost impossible for any very poor and uneducated to end up being in USA from Nepal. Now on other side climate migrants will be mostly poorer of poor and farmers, whose livelihood directly depends on natural factors, such as fisherman who used to fish on local river that dried out, hilly region farmer who depends only on rain for farming. All these people will never end up being in US. US don't have policy to migrate take in those kind of people in. There might be very few who family has gone through such migratin in past and their kids are in US, but still I think it is very less likely. And based on my experime poor migrants usually move to closer next village, town or may be to india. I don't expect them to be in USA, either do I expect them to be able to use video or computers for your interview. Poorest are the one who are impacted most by these things and I don't expect them to have access to computer, Internet and video chat. So if want to get real picture of this you have to travel to those villages. And this will be true for most of the world not only nepal. @ divorseguy- please stay out of this thread :), may be this is not your thing as of now.

@divorceguy stay away from this thread. The only reason you responded to this thread is because you saw the picture of good looking woman start this thread. All sajahities know how bokaa you are. I guess you don't even know what she is talking about.

Divorceguy is an extremely uneducated dumb individual who is incapable of using his brain like a normal human being because he has genes of Baboons and Chimpanzees. He has been raped in the Jails of Mexico by those drug cartels a lot of times right in his butt. He was found in a garbage can and was raised by a bum. Due to these factors, he behaves like a piece of garbage.

Supernova you are extremely out of context here, we are not talking crap here, we are talking about helping people. Have some respect on this posting and not talk unwanted things here, will you? zip your filthy mouth please, thanks.

Ok Lindsey, I wanna say you something. Since you are a content editor at ABC, you will probably get paid enough to fly anywhere in the world, if not then, do not try to brainwash people with your fake smile and care. The Whole caring is sharing thing established by the Zionists and the freaking Rothschild is just plain BS. We don't need documentaries. Come on, f**k the medias. What do you want? Walt Disney's donald Duck probably has an erected penis waiting for the migrants' kids to be raped in the name of Jesus, or probably you just want to squeeze more GMO seeds in the fertile lands of Nepal. No, we don't freaking want International aids. Aids are for the poorest, no we are not poor. We are being made poorer by the government, since they are the corrupted ones, running under one of your political agendas, why don't you make a documentary about the corrupte government of Nepal? Oops, you can't since they are your puppets. What a freaking crap you are, that you want to make a documentary about the suffering people, instead you could send the helping hands. I don't know what you want, a fame, a publicity, or donations from the innocents who will say like"awe look at the poors in that documentary, let's throw some $$$'. Just stay away feom Nepal....there's always a sinister behind a white skin, probably it hurts, but truth hurts right? LMAO, a documentary....

highflying eagle i think earthquake came coz we believe in stone gods that doesn't exists
divorceguy · May 27, 2015 6:30 PM
@divorceguy, come on dude, what the hell think christians pray? A Jesus monument made out of real life figure? Have you ever seen Jesus in your life? No right? Just don't be a hypocrite. What is Christianity? What is Krishna-Neeti(the way of Krishna)? Yes the tantric way of life is kind of controversial, Vaishnavism is true way, if you want to fall in illusion of Christianity, I guess it's your choice brother, but don't ever condemn your blood God, it's still a blasphemy. Jay Shree Krishna. Pece be with you.
Highflyingeagle · May 27, 2015 8:25 PM
bro i don't believe in god at all, we are god if we have good heart and we are devil if we do and things. for me god is nature and universe, not a religion, not hinduism, nor christianity or muslim.
divorceguy · May 27, 2015 8:34 PM
@divorceguy, you said nature and universe is God for you right? See you still believe in God, and you're right, we are all Gods, a beautiful image of God. Forget Christianity, forget Islam, the descendants of Jews, the mlechhas, they are kIlling Gods in you. There's nothing wrong praying the nature which Red Indians did too, but what did the whites do? Wiped them out in the name of Jesus. Man follow Krishna with heart, He doesn't want money, no jewellery's, no meat, no sacrifice, just a devotion, you r right, you r God, because u r a part of Krishna, and see the world after your devotion, those material hugging religion will automatically eradicate from your heart. You don't need to be Hindu too, Just be a Dharmi, it's all you need. Hinduism is just the way of life, a social life, it's a society, but you can be anti social too, Just be a Sanatani Dharmi. Jay Shree Krishna.
