What began as a project to preserve documents, images and firsthand accounts of Tibetan life in exile became something much bigger – a way to capture and pass a piece of Tibetan history from a generation with living memory of a free Tibet and the earliest days of exile, before those memories are lost.
At its heart, it is also a universal story about memory, love and home.
“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
