DALAI LAMA AND THE FUTURE OF TIBET

by Christian Pähler and Lilian Dammnn

German title: STUNDE NULL AUF DEM DACH DER WELT – WAS KOMMT NACH DEM DALAI LAMA

Filmed over five years, and featuring interviews with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, the newly elected Prime Minister of Tibet and key Chinese political thinkers, this fascinating film gives in-depth look at the challenges facing Tibet today.

As the 14th Dalai Lama celebrates his 80th birthday many Tibetans, on both sides of the border, are concerned about the future. As religious leader of the Tibetan Buddhists, and political leader of the Tibetan government in exile, he has spent decades travelling the globe to raise awareness of his cause. A symbol of non-violent engagement, tolerance and empathy he holds a Nobel peace prize for his work. But, almost unnoticed by the world’s media he recently resigned from his role as political leader of the Tibetans in exile, handing over to an elected leader.
