A Sacrifice

Lhamo Kyab, a Tibetan nomad, escapes into exile in India, only to return secretly to Tibet on a symbolic journey to highlight his people's suffering. Meanwhile, 130 Tibetans have set themselves on fire inside Tibet. This film considers the implications of the sacrifices being committed by Tibetans in the name of freedom.

During the discussion, the young people initiated a discussion: is freedom worth such sacrifice and is it possible for minorities to find other ways to draw the international public’s attention to the violations of their rights?
