What is the situation like for Tibetan children and teenagers who live in exile? What chances are there for the next generation, far away from their home countries, without any parents? Does a young person understand the meaning of cultural identity? Religious principles such as compassion, tolerance and nonviolence? What kind of life models will be valid for them? What exactly is the Tibetan conflict to them? How important is art to them? Where do they find the feeling of security, love and trust in a foreign country? Can you learn how to become happy? Is there an alienation among the families because of life in exile? And can your own identity persist in the Western countries at all? This is the very point from where the film starts to investigate, silhouetted against other documentary films on Tibetan topics. The film stages the facts without embellishment, documenting the renouncements and the difficulties that these children and teenagers have to take into account. Yet, they prove themselves, demonstrating their strength and their will. And they have got a target - their cultural independence. Tibet's Children also gives evidence of the engagement of people like the monk Lama Tenzin Sangpo, the musician Monika Stadler or the entrepreneur Günter Hager. Their points of view are clearly defined. A change of perspective with the help of Tibetans youths as white hope for a whole nation. Written by caromax See less
