BRINGING TIBET HOME
In memory of his late father, the New York-based and world-known artist Tenzing Rigdol embarks on an unthinkable journey to smuggle 20 tons of native Tibetan soil, crossing the borders of three countries that border the Himalayas, for a final installation in Dharamsala, India, to give a chance for the thousands of Tibetans in exile to set foot on their native soil. Infused with Rigdol’s dreamy longing for his homeland, the fiery rage of his arts and unexpected humor – filmmaker Tenzin Choklay crafts an intense and touching documentary about contemporary Tibetans’ unwavering longing for their homeland and dreamland.
