Season 10 Episode 28: Grandma of the Empty Village: Nepal

High on the slopes of the Himalayas, in one region of Nepal known as "Little Japan," the number of men and women who travel to Japan to work has caused severe depopulation. In Tokari Village, one woman raises her grandchildren alone. Combined with the fatigue from farm work, the stress of each day brings her to tears. In this episode, we follow a family seeking a modest life of happiness over the course of 2 years as they contend with the challenges of global immigration.
