Namaste Man

In India and Nepal, namaste (pronounced “Na-ma-stay”) means both hello and goodbye. Namaste Man (Lost and Found in Kathmandu), the autobiographical piece by actor Andrew Weems, draws on a childhood that was anything but conventional. Growing up in Africa and Asia, Weems spent his adolescence in houses furnished by the State Department, living a life filled with constant hellos and goodbyes. He experienced a world redolent with adventures, outsized personalities–and mysteries that he would begin to unravel only as an adult. Bartlett Sher directs.
