“Confessions: Animal Hoarding” (8 p.m., Animal Planet) sets out to prove that the peculiar affliction transcends class and economic station.

A convenience-store clerk named Flossie finds that her modest salary can’t keep up with her menagerie of dogs, cats, a pig and a raccoon. Christine has a good job as a paralegal but finds her income eaten up with vet bills for her secret stash of rescued animals.

• How’s this for a first film? A fledgling director just out of college gains unprecedented access to a shadowy revolutionary army and travels to the remote Himalayas to document them.

Directed by Kiran Deol, “Woman Rebel” (7 p.m., HBO2) follows Silu, a young woman from Nepal as she joins the Maoist army trying to overthrow a monarchy that she believes caters only to the rich. Like Silu, more than 40 percent of the insurgents are women seeking equal rights in a rigidly hierarchical society. Silu’s fellow female rebels demand the right to an education, to own property, the ability to go to court in cases of domestic abuse and the equal right to serve in government.

After a 10-year civil war from 1996 to 2006, the Maoists were incorporated into the government and Silu was elected to a local position.

“Woman Rebel” contrasts Silu’s attitudes with a traditional society where women have long been ignored and parents frequently pray for male heirs.

Silu does not think change will come in her lifetime. “Women have always faced discrimination and violence. I want a daughter who will continue to fight against that.”
