FREE TIBET
Screening of Leaving Fear Behind
With Q@A with Dechen Pemba
Southampton Sunday 30 November
LEAVING FEAR BEHIND, a heroic film shot by Tibetans from inside Tibet.
The footage was smuggled out of Tibet under extraordinary
circumstances. The film was shot by Dhondup Wangchen and assisted by
his friend Golog Jigme. The filmmakers were detained soon after
sending their tapes out, and Dhondup is still in prison.
They began as complete amateurs with no camera experience, but with
extraordinary determination and courage. They covered thousands of
miles on motorbike and overcame innumerable hurdles, all to bring the
unheard voices of ordinary Tibetans to the world stage.
For the filmmakers, revealing their identities was always part of the
plan. Fully aware of the implications, they rejected anonymity as an
option. In order for the film to be made, fear had to be truly left
behind.
Followed by Q&A with Dechen Pemba, the Tibetan woman who secured the
film material.
