Tibet: Murder in the Snow
If you’re in Sydney on Thursday the 12th of February, you might want to peep Tibet: Murder in the Snow by Australian director Mark Gould. He’ll be there for a Q & A after the screening… along with some Tibetan Monks!
In an incident that shocked the world, a teenage nun was killed when Chinese border police opened fire on a group of pilgrims as they fled Tibet over the infamous NangPa Pass. The shooting was witnessed international mountain climbers who filmed the events and helped rescue a survivor before broadcasting the story to the world.
Using shocking footage, reenactments and interviews with witness and survivors, Murder in the Snow tells of thousands of young Tibetans who risk their lives each year to illegally cross the rugged Himalaya Mountains in an attempt to see their spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, or attend school in India.
