The Children of Tibet

The Chinese government might paint a rosy picture of Tibet, but the situation, especially for children and young people from the impoverished Tibetan population, is bleak. Due to the impossibility, too, of retaining their cultural identity in Tibet, many young Tibetans are still fleeing into exile in northern India and Nepal today. What does their cultural identity mean to these young people, and what are the prospects for them in exile? The film «The Children of Tibet», uncovers the story of the exile of Tibet's youth in northern India and Nepal. A story that not only threatens the identity of an entire people, but, seen from a demographic point of view, also appears to be turning into a mixed culture.
