Lhamo Tso: Behind the Sea



Tibetan film-maker Dhondup Wangchen is serving a six year sentence in China for a documentary he made prior to the Beijing Olympics in 2008 in Qinghai province, western China. The documentary, Leaving Fear Behind, features a series of interviews with Tibetans about their views on the then upcoming Beijing Olympics, the human rights situation in Tibet, and the Dalai Lama. His wife, Lhamo Tso, is now caring for all of her children as her husband sits imprisoned. Behind the Sea, a short film by Tibetan Women's Association is dedicated to her, her family, Dhondup Wangchen, all other Tibetan prisoners of conscience and political prisoners.
