Tuesday, September 5, at 7 PM in White Hall on East Campus, the Fall 2014 CineEast Film Festival will be screening the groundbreaking documentary, Nowhere to Call Home. NOWHERE TO CALL HOME provides a rare glimpse into the world of a Tibetan farmer, torn between her traditional way of life and her desire for her son to have a better future in the city. Shot in the slums of Beijing and a remote village near the epicenter of Tibetan self-immolations, this gripping story of a woman determined to beat the odds puts a human face on the political strife that fractures China and Tibet. Along the way it challenges common western stereotypes about Tibetans, and reveals a dark side of village life, where, as the saying goes, ‘women aren’t worth a penny.’ For trailer and more information, visit: tibetaninbeijing/ Review/interview in NY Times: nytimes/2014/08/24/movies/nowhere-to-call-home-examines-prejudices.html Review in Forbes: forbes/sites/ericrmeyer/2014/08/19/nowhere-to-call-home-a-film-by-jocelyn-ford-a-new-perspective-on-tibet/
