Home to Tibet

MORE ABOUT THE FILM

Home to Tibet documents the return of the Tibetan stone mason, Sonam Lama, to his homeland for the first time since his escape 12 years ago. It is the moving story of one Tibetan which illustrates the struggles of the Tibetan people to preserve their culture and way of life while living under Chinese occupation.
Any film about Tibet and its people must inevitably address the political situation, but politics is not the central concern of this production. Rather, it is about the inseparability of spirituality, family, culture and politics for the Tibetan people. Home to Tibet is Sonam's story, but it is also the story of thousands of other Tibetans.

full review

"The real story of what has happened since the Chinese occupied Tibet has rarely been told so well as in Home to Tibet. It reveals this national tragedy in a moving story of one man's return to his home land. I recommend it to any one who cares about the Tibetan people, about justice and human rights, and about the human heart."
