Fire Under the Snow

At the IDFA (International Documantary Filmfestival Amsterdam) I had the privilege to join one of the 3 screenings of this documentary. The director of this documentary showed with Fire under snow, how little and how much someone can bear, when it comes to (injust) imprisonment, violent torture and loosing almost half of your life due to injustice by the Chinese. The combination of old material, and even recent material secretly smuggled out of Tibet, made the documentary very worthwhile, although a part of the documentary focused on the 2008 Olympics which are behind us already. But still, I liked it very much, and was very happy to be able to ask my questions and give compliments after the show to the person it was all about, Lama Palden.
