The Story of the Dalai Lama

Dvd available at http://festivalmedia.org

"'Compassion In Exile' is an intimate portrait of Tenzin Gyatso, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet. Inherent in the life story of this Nobel Peace Prize laureate is the saga of the suffering of the Tibetan people under Chinese occupation.

For over forty years the Dalai Lama has waged a non-violent struggle in exile to bring attention to the plight of his people and save their unique culture and religion. He is the embodiment of the ideal of his Buddhist heritage and practice, and his life story is an inspiring lesson in compassion and peace.

For this film, the Dalai Lama personally granted director Mickey Lemle unprecedented access and cooperation. With candor and humor, he describes his upbringing and key moments in his life, detailing historic events including his becoming head of state at the age of sixteen, journeying to Beijing at nineteen to confront Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, and fleeing to India at twenty.

Using historic and some never-before-seen footage, his remarkable story is also remembered by the people closest to him, including his older brother, his sister, and Heinrich Harrer (his childhood tutor and the author of Seven Years In Tibet). Tibetan exiles are interviewed for direct testimony about conditions in Tibet under the Chinese, and the Dalai Lama himself voices his concerns for Tibet, his lack of hatred of the Chinese, and his hopes for a peaceful future.

Produced by Lemle Pictures, Inc. in association with Central Productions Ltd., UK"

Little Lhasa News first appeared in the brilliant mind of GuruC as a witty and joyful dream-like idea which I received with enthusiasm. We laughed while letting our unrepressed wishes for Tibet and the Tibetan people poured out of our hearts. Now that it had become alive, its possibilities are endless. I have faith that Little Lhasa News will create the conditions that will bring hot-climate-loving Tibetans and our beloved Venerable Lamas to Miami. Best Wishes and Tashi-Delek to all.
