A father’s vanishing memory and echoes of a free Tibet are at the heart of this intimate family story filmed across 20 years. In 1959, The Dalai Lama fled Chinese occupation on foot over the Himalayas. Thousands of his people followed him into India. Over 6 decades later, as former deputy to the Dalai Lama TC Tethong begins to lose his memory, rediscovered archives trace a hopeful love story with a Canadian named Judy and their courageous struggle to keep Tibet alive in exile. With rare reflections from an aging Dalai Lama, personal and collective histories intertwine in a moving exploration of a people’s resilience and the endless longing for a home out of reach. Join director Kristi Tethong for a special post-screening Q&A.
