2004 Selection

Kalsang Dolma, a young Tibetan refugee in Quebec, returns to her native land. Into the largest prison in the world, she carries a video message recorded by the Dalaï-Lama. Since 1950, Tibetans inside the country have hoped that China allows him to return. Families gather around the tiny screen, transfixed, and for the first time, the voices of this fragile people under the yoke of suffering reach us from across the distance.
