KATHMANDU, Aug 4: The documentary Co-Husband, exploring the polyandry practice in Nepal, has been selected as reference material in various colleges and universities in the United States of America and Canada. 

Directed by journalist Ganesh Pandey, the 35-minute film was shot in Humla, a district in Nepal's Karnali Province.

Documentary Educational Resources established in 1968 in the US has decided to implement the documentary as a reference material in the US and Canada-based colleges and universities.

The documentary has already won various international prestigious awards. 

Before this, it won the Best Short Film Award with a cash prize during the 2023 Society for Visual Anthropology Film and Media Festival organized in Toronto, Canada by the American Anthropological Association and Canadian Anthropology Society. 

Polyandry still exists in mountainous districts including Humla. 

The Co-Husband is the first documentary to highlight this practice. It took around four years to shoot the film. It was produced by Shine Media Pvt and Pandey himself is its script writer.  Pandey said he is immensely pleased to know that Co-Husband is to be included as a reference material in universities worldwide.

Pandey's previous work " Bhagyale Banchekaharu (Nepal Earthquake: Heroes, Survivors, and Miracles) " was also highly acclaimed, winning over a dozen international awards.
