Journey of a Red Fridge is a documentary that follows the trek of a 17 year old porter named Hari through Nepal’s stunning mountain landscapes and rough social terrain, in a four-day effort to deliver a large refrigerator. Along the way, we discover the local culture and gain insight into the economic and social conditions that have allowed child labor to make up 25% of the country’s workforce.
