Documentary: "Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion," April 16

Tibet Film Screening: Wed., April 16, 7pm in HOLT 350

With the 2008 Beijing Olympics quickly approaching, numerous protests and demonstrations over China’s 50 year occupation of Tibet are arising, despite China’s efforts to stifle such dissent. This is anticipated to be one of the most politically tumultuous Olympics in history. Why are citizens and leaders of the world standing up in protest and boycotting the Beijing Olympics on behalf of Tibet? Why have hundreds of protestors in Tibet been killed in recent weeks by the Chinese government?

The history of Tibet and its relations with China are powerfully presented in this inspiring documentary “Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion.” Ten years in the making, this award-winning documentary is a definitive exploration of a legendary subject. An epic story of courage and compassion, Cry of the Snow Lion features unprecedented imagery from Tibet, combined with riveting interviews and a collection of underground and archival footage never before assembled in one film.

Presented in association with the Religious Studies Students. Daniel Veidlinger, professor of Asian religions, will facilitate a discussion after the film.
