Amnesty International Local Group 30 invites you to a screening of "Leaving Fear Behind," a film by imprisoned Tibetan filmmaker Dhondup Wangchen. The film will be introduced by his wife Lhamo Tso, who has been actively campaigning for his release. Dhondup Wangchen was arrested and imprisoned while making this film about ordinary Tibetans expressing their views on life in Tibet.
Following the film John Kamm, founder of the San Francisco based Dui Hua Foundation, which works to release prisoners in China through dialogue with the Chinese government, will discuss Dui Hua's current initiatives.
Light refreshments will be served. Suggested donation $5, but no one will be turned away.
Take action for Dhondup Wangchen!
