As a young girl, Ani Chöying escaped her violent home for a monastery in Nepal. One day, an American jazz guitarist heard the young nun sing and was so enthralled by her voice that he recorded an album with her. The pay cheque enabled Ani Chöying to open Arya Tara School, just outside Kathmandu, offering shelter and education to sixty disadvantaged girls. Ani Chöying now tours the world giving concerts, driven by her desire to help her young Nepalese charges. In Singing For Freedom she tells her shocking and inspiring story.
