State of Statelessness (12A)
-
Fri 12 Jun
State of Statelessness is the first-ever Tibetan-language anthology feature film, and an exploration of the profound themes of statelessness and migration through four poignant stories of Tibetans living in exile.
Directed by Tibetan filmmakers in India, America, and Vietnam, the film captures the painful realities of scattered people, from a father’s tale of the Mekong River to a son’s discovery of a family secret in Dharamshala.
