Through her writing and online presence, she has become one of the most eloquent voices on Tibet. Zhu\u2019s sharply designed, formally innovative documentary unfolds completely in Woeser\u2019s own voice: Zhu alternates formally photographed scenes of the writer reading excerpts from her secret government \u201cdossier\u201d (to which she has somehow gained access) with scenes of her speaking in her own soft but passionate voice. Woeser\u2019s moving account of her political awakening and current activism makes for a powerful document of a Tibetan woman finding her voice and insisting on her freedom to use it.<\/p>\n<p>This screening is co-presented with Columbia University\u2019s Modern Tibetan Studies Program.<\/p>\n<p>Post-screening Q&amp;A with director Zhu Rikun and Robert Barnett, Columbia University.<\/p>\n<p>For more information visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/asiasociety.org\/new-york\/events\/dossier\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/asiasociety.org\/new-york\/events\/do<\/a>ssier<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monday, August 24 6:30PM to 9:15PM Asia Society 725 Park Avenue, New York, NY<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-55086","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stay-connected-to-the-latest-local-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55086","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=55086"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55086\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":55093,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55086\/revisions\/55093"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=55086"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=55086"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=55086"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
