Event Description : no man's land invites YOU to a feature documentary screening 'The Sun Behind The Clouds : Tibet’s Struggle for Freedom' followed by discussion with the filmmakers Tenzin Sonam and Ritu Sarin.

In The Sun Behind the Clouds: Tibet’s Struggle for Freedom, the filmmakers take a uniquely Tibetan perspective on the trials and tribulations of the Dalai Lama and his people as they continue their struggle for freedom in the face of determined suppression by one of the world’s biggest and most powerful nations. The filmmakers had intimate access to the Dalai Lama and followed him over the course of an eventful year, which included the 2008 protests in Tibet, the international response to it, the Beijing Olympics, and the breakdown in talks between his representatives and the Chinese government.
Set against this backdrop, the film explores the interplay between the personal and the historic, spirituality and politics, and the tension between the Dalai Lama’s efforts to find a peaceful solution to the Tibet situation based on compromise and dialogue, and the impatience of a younger generation of Tibetans who are ready to take a more confrontational course.
