Detroit Soup is a crowd-funding dinner which has raised more than 85,000 dollars for startups in Motor City. The project has kick-started an impressive range of socially conscious businesses and community projects - but is it an idea which can only work in Detroit, or could it work anywhere?
Detroit Soup founder Amy Kaherl to Nepal to inspire kick-start a new crowdfunding culture in the capital Kathmandu.
Nepal is one of the world's poorest countries, and nearly ten years after its decade-long civil war came to an end, political uncertainty continues to hamper the country's progress.
There is a listlessness among many Nepali people, that the country won't be back on its feet anytime soon - and furthermore, there's nothing they can do about it. Could Detroit Soup help turn this around?
Amy meets a new generation of Nepalese youth activists looking to make their mark, and enhance their community. They develop the Detroit Soup concept, giving it a Nepali twist and Idea Fest Nepal is born.
The programme follows the preparations of the event, as the team behind it looks to bring a new crowdfunding culture to Nepal.
