Little Tibet (Film)

Tonight we welcome you to a showing of the touching and surprisingly humorous, Little Tibet. In this inspiring, educational and informative documentary, Sonam is about to go on a journey to one of the highest places on earth. As a Tibetan who can no longer return to his own country Sonam is in search of Tibet outside of Tibet. He journeys to Ladakh, in the northern most part of India (which is known as Little Tibet). Ladakh borders Tibet and shares much of its culture, language and landscape.

Here, in this remote, high altitude land, Sonam finds the beauty of his culture both preserved and living. During his journey across the breathtakingly beautiful landscape of the Himalayas, through rain, snow and desert, Sonam discovers ancient Tibetan monasteries and talks with nomads in Chang Thang, the pasture-lands that once stretched over the
Indo-Tibetan border. He sees His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama give teachings to an audience of thousands, joins in the celebrations of a Tibetan wedding and encounters marmots. In this land still rich in Tibetan culture, he finds the gems of his lost homeland, but he cannot cross the tantalisingly close border and return to his homeland.
