Shakti,” the debut narrative feature from filmmaker Nani Sahra Walker, will make its digital bow on Prime Video across the U.S. and U.K. on May 22, with a trailer unveiled ahead of the launch. Buffalo 8 handles distribution.

The film unfolds in Kathmandu, where a mother races to shield her nine-year-old daughter from a sudden and troubling change – a journey that forces both characters to reckon with trauma and with a legal system ill-equipped to deliver justice. At its center, the story takes aim at Nepal’s time limits on prosecuting sexual violence, reflecting wider pressure for legislative accountability.
