For all women in the Sangha — It’s time for the next fun­drais­ing film night!

It’s on Sat­urday 13th March at 7pm at Jyo­tivana com­munity. And we’ve found yet another great film:

Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion

“Ten years in the mak­ing, this award-winning feature-length doc­u­ment­ary was filmed dur­ing nine jour­neys through­out Tibet, India and Nepal.

Cry of the Snow Lion brings audi­ences to the long-forbidden rooftop of the world with an unpre­ced­en­ted rich­ness of imagery … from rarely-seen rituals in remote mon­as­ter­ies, to horse races with Khamba war­ri­ors; from brothels and slums in the holy city of Lhasa, to mag­ni­fi­cent Him­alayan peaks still traveled by nomadic yak caravans.

The dark secrets of Tibet’s recent past are power­fully chron­icled through per­sonal stor­ies and inter­views, and a col­lec­tion of under­cover and archival images never before assembled in one film. A defin­it­ive explor­a­tion of a legendary sub­ject, Cry of the Snow Lion is an epic story of cour­age and compassion.”
