SCREENING OF DOCUMENTARY FILM 'HOME TO TIBET' FOLLOWED BY Q&A WITH FILMMAKERS LISA MERTON AND ALAN DATER
ARTISTS
The 1996 documentary, Home to Tibet, will be screened at the Congregational Church of Westminster West on Wednesday 28 December at 5:30 pm.
The film documents the return of the Tibetan stone mason, Sonam Lama, to his homeland for the first time since his escape 12 years earlier. It is the moving story of one Tibetan which illustrates the struggles of the Tibetan people to preserve their culture and way of life while living under Chinese occupation. Any film about Tibet and its people must inevitably address the political situation, but politics is not the central concern of this production. Rather, it is about the inseparability of spirituality, family, culture and politics for the Tibetan people. Home to Tibet is Sonam's story, but it is also the story of thousands of other Tibetans.
Admission is by donation. After the film, filmmakers Lisa Merton and Alan Dater will be on hand to talk about the film and answer any questions.
Come early to enjoy popcorn and baked goods which will be on sale. Masks are required.
