Following the visit of the Tashi Lhunpo monks in October, many people asked if there was a possibility of showing the entire documentary film Escape from Tibet that the director / producer Nick Gray and colleagues so movingly discussed. So here it is, in the Village Hall on Saturday 18 January 2025 ar 2.30pm.

Nick will be present to introduce the 50-minute film, made in 1994 for ITV. It is an astonishing, true record of endurance that follows 11 year-old Tenzin’s efforts to flee the Chinese repression of his homeland, attempting the most dangerous escape route in the world over the Himalyas, led by his fearless brother, Pasang.

We’ll be scattering the remains of the sand mandala on the village hall field before the film, at about 2pm.

No charge, but a small contribution towards hire of the hall would be appreciated.
