N-Peace Short Films Featured Projects
Creative Migration is teaming up with UNDP Asia-Pacific and the N-Peace Network to bring you interesting stories of women pushing back against gender inequality. This includes deconstructing societal norms like toxic masculinity that only create more polarization.
N-Peace is a United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) flagship initiative founded in 2010 to commemorate a decade of UNSCR 1325 implementation via the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda. Currently unique to the Asia-Pacific region, N-Peace or “Engage for Equality, Access, Community and Empowerment” operates in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, the Philippines and Nepal, with the goal of implementing UNSCR 1325, and enhancing the role of women in conflict resolution and peacebuilding.

Accountability Lab – Nepal
Film School for Women: Training and supporting young women in filmmaking and visual storytelling on accountability and good governance issues. The team ran fellowship applications for the Gender, Peace and Accountability Edition of the school – made possible by the N-Peace grant won by the Lab in October 2019. Nepal has a progressive legal framework for the protection of women’s rights which aims to create an enabling environment for gender equality.
The Accountability Lab was founded in early 2012 as an effort to work with young people to develop new ideas for accountability, transparency and open government. It has evolved into a global network of local Accountability Labs that are finding new ways to shift societal norms, solve intractable challenges and build “unlikely networks” for change.
Period: A State of Purity depicts how nuns in Nepal are breaking past the shame placed upon them for menstruation. This stigma perpetuates violence against women. The denial of this essential part of the cycle of life, contributes to the ongoing systematic dehumanization of people born female. The more that we normalize female sexual and reproductive health, the more we evolve into an enlightened society.
Underneath Section 193 follows two women as they build a friendship after both surviving acid-attacks. As they support each other’s healing process, they start taking on the legal system to prevent future attacks and to protect existing survivors. They make themselves visible in order to create societal change.
For the next few months, we’re introducing collaborative and creative work to start conversations, shift perspectives and inspire action. The following N-Peace short films align with the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, an international campaign to challenge violence against women and girls. The campaign runs every year from November 25th, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, to December 10th, Human Rights Day.

DIGITAL RELEASE
![]()
Creative Migration is proud to promote NEON’s digital release of TOTALLY UNDER CONTROL from Academy Award® winning filmmaker Alex Gibney. Shot in secrecy over the past five months, the director interviewed countless scientists and government whistleblowers to expose the truth about the COVID pandemic.
The film is available on watch.neonrated.com (viewers ouside of the USA need to use a VPN). Direct message us for our Private Code to claim $1 off the $5.99 rental price.
While the current administration tries to frame the situation as an unavoidable crisis, it is really closer to a crime of negligence. Weirdly enough, I don’t see this as a political film; it’s a film about incompetence and corruption that is totally out of control.
- Alex Gibney
