FIRE UNDER THE SNOW

"Fire Under the Snow"
http://www.fireunderthesnow.com

This graceful portrait of Palden Gyatso, monk, activist and survivor of China's oppression in Tibet, illuminates this true survivor's story, shining a light on the human cost of China's occupation, while teaching us how to live with purpose, compassion and conviction.

Fire Under the Snow is a graceful, unequivocal answer to the question of how to keep peace and purpose in our hearts in the midst of terrible suffering. Palden Gyatso was a Tibetan monk living a quiet life before the Chinese occupation of Tibet. Arrested by the Chinese for attending a rally, he endured torture, starvation, jail and forced labor for 33 years.
After his release, Palden escaped to Dharamsala, India, home of the Tibetan exile community. There he became an activist speaking out against the Chinese occupation, giving voice to thousands of dead or imprisoned Tibetans. Through an interweave of interviews with Palden, political prisoners, family members and His Holiness the Dalai Lama, director Makoto Sasa illuminates this true survivor's heartbreaking, riveting story, shining a light on the human cost of China's occupation, while teaching us how to live with greater purpose, compassion and conviction.
