Tibet and Tibetans remain a largely foreign and abstract notion to people
and institutions, especially in the West. Though there have been many films
and videos produced on Tibet and Tibetans very few have taken a in-depth
look into the crisis contemporary exile Tibetans are facing in order to
protect their cultural identity. WITH UNDIVIDED FAITH:
A PORTRAIT OF A TIBETAN EXILE COMMUNITY presents a unique and very
intimate portrait of several Tibetan families caught in their struggle to
both protect their family values and their cultural heritage, and the sacrifices
that at times must be made and endured. It is the hope of the filmmaker
that those viewing this documentary will come to empathize with the subjects
through a more personal understanding of them as real people facing real
obstacles, and thus educate and motivate viewers to take action to help
Tibetans during these extremely dangerous times for their cultural survival. |
