Dechen Roder, Caroline Sascha Cogez, Denmark, 2011
48 min.DK/DocumentaryPortrait films
The 19 year old Dechen is living with her mother and little brother in Thimphu, the capital of Bhutan. Dechen dreams of becoming a successful singer and is selected to be a contestant in the Bhutan TV singing contest 'Druk Super Star'. As the competition evolves, Dechen explores the story of her beloved late grandmother who was a singing talent just like Dechen. In her search for identity, Dechen uncovers the dark history of her family in which blessings and curses stand side by side. The crossover from child to adult in the young girl reflects a country in the middle of a transition between the old and the modern world. »She Sings« is filmed in Bhutan and is a Danish/Bhutanese production.
