520    This disease takes away the beauty of your face. It eats 
       up your hands and feet and makes us ugly. Other diseases 
       eat up your insides, but they leave you looking beautiful 
       outside." "People in the villages think it is caused by 
       Naga spirits. So they sacrifice chickens and goats and do 
       prayer pujas. That's what they did for me too. My parents 
       didn't know." Since antiquity, leprosy has struck fear 
       into human beings. Seen as contagious, mutilating and 
       incurable, leprosy continues to alienate those who 
       contract it from their families and communities. Leper 
       provides a rare and intimate glimpse into a contemporary 
       society of lepers in a remote village in Nepal. Villagers 
       speak openly and emotionally about their relationship to 
       their sickness, to the "healthy" outside community outside
       the village boundaries, and the myriad stigmas and 
       misunderstandings which surround a disease that has marked
       their bodies and their lives. The villagers speak 
       eloquently of how, after much struggle and hardship, they 
       build new lives for themselves, recreating family and 
       community in the context of this disease. Their poignant 
       and revealing stories offer heartfelt reflections on 
       societal fears and aversions to sickness, bodily 
       differences, and death.
