Q&A after 7pm screenings with the director, writer, and participants.
One family and the Tibetan nation are bound together by love, identity and their fight to resist erasure. As TC Tethong, a former deputy to the Dalai Lama, loses his memory, rediscovered archives reveal an unexpected love story with a Canadian named Judy, and their life-long struggle to keep a homeland alive in exile. With rare reflections from an aging Dalai Lama, personal and collective histories intertwine in an endless longing for a home out of reach.
“Featuring a never-before-seen archive of a precarious era for Tibetans struggling to survive on borrowed soil, this intimate family story of love and courage reflects upon the nature of memory and intergenerational loss and resilience, while preserving a vulnerable oral history of the aging, last connection to a free Tibet.”–Imagine India Festival
