Fire Under The Snow
Seattle Human Rights Film Festival proudly presents:
FIRE UNDER THE SNOW
Makoto Sasa - USA/Japan - 2008 - 75 min
Arrested by the Chinese Communist Army in 1959, Palden Gyatso spent 33 years in prisons and labor camps for the "crime" of peaceful demonstration. Tortured, starved and sentenced to hard labor, he watched his nation and culture destroyed, his teachers, friends and family displaced, jailed or killed. The film covers Palden's birth in 1933, and follows him through the Orwellian nightmare that began with the Chinese invasion. It explores the escalating cycle of interrogation and physical violation that ended decades later with Palden's escape from Tibet, and a cathartic meeting with His Holiness the Dalai Lama in India.
Fire Under the Snow reveals the contours of an inspirational story: It is the survival of a mind and soul under unthinkable duress.
