Today we showed Leaving Fear Behind, a short documentary by Tibetan filmmaker Dhondup Wangchen at the Humber Lakeshore Campus, in the L building, room 3007.

Leaving Fear Behind (in Tibetan,"Jigdrel") is a heroic film shot by Tibetans from inside Tibet, who longed to bring Tibetan voices to the Beijing Olympic Games. With the global spotlight on China as it rises to host the XXIX Olympics, Tibetans wish to tell the world of their plight and their heartfelt grievances against Chinese rule. The footage was smuggled out of Tibet under extraordinary circumstances. Dhondup Wangchen was detained soon after sending the tapes out, and remains in prison to this day.

This was the very first event for our club. We would like to thank everyone who came out to this event and participated in the discussions that followed.
