Zeitgeist Films proudly announces it's latest title available for Institutional and Educational Purposes:
THE SUN BEHIND THE CLOUDS: A film by Ritu Sarin and Tenzing Sonam ³A provocative and potent look at The Dalai Lama¹s ceaseless struggle for justice and recognition for the Tibetan people, The Sun Behind the Clouds focuses on the pivotal and particularly tumultuous events of 2008. From Buddhist monks' protests in Lhasa on the 50th anniversary of the Chinese invasion and the four-month march of exiled Tibetans through India to the Tibetan border, to the Beijing Olympics and the raucous talks the between the Dalai Lama¹s representatives and the Chinese government, the film uncovers the growing rifts between younger Tibetans and their most respected spiritual leader.² Visit the website here: http://www.zeitgeistfilms.com/thesunbehindtheclouds/ Order the film here: http://www.zeitgeistfilms.com/film.php?directoryname=sunbehindtheclouds&mode =educational Praise for the film: ³This film not only shows the situation in Tibet, the confrontation between the police and monks, the confrontation between the police and the public, but it also shows what is happening in the hearts of the Tibetan people.² Vaclav Havel, former president of the Czech Republic, while presenting the film with the Vaclav Havel award at the One World Film Festival in Prague ³This is a riveting film, unlike any other one is likely to see on Tibet anytime soon. It¹s a film from the inside, one that explores the real, wrenching debates going on within the Tibetan community over the policies that the Dalai Lama has been advocating, policies which have seemingly had no effect on Chinese rule in Tibet.² Elliot Sperling, Professor, Central Eurasian Studies, Indiana University About Zeitgeist DVD Institutional Editions: *A Streaming License for a term of three years from the date of the invoice is included with the purchase.
