Infiltrado en el Tíbet
Writer
En este documental Tash Despa, refugiado político en el exilio, vuelve al Tíbet once años después de su huida, acompañado por Jezza Neumann, director que ya había realizado en el 2007 un aclamado documental titulado "China's Stolen Children", sobre los niños robados en China. Durante tres meses recorren clandestinamente el país para averiguar cómo es la vida de los tibetanos bajo la autoridad china. Bajo el riesgo de ser encarcelado o deportado, Despa se infiltra en el país para mostrarnos “el genocidio de la cultura” descrito por el Dalai Lama. Despa se entrevista con los nómadas que han sido obligados a abandonar su modo de vida tradicional para vivir confinados en reasentamientos. Se encuentra con un estado altamente militarizado que encarcela y tortura a los disidentes, esteriliza a mujeres y las somete a abortos forzados.

China's Stolen Children
Director
Ten years after the policy-changing and award-winning film, The Dying Rooms, the same team returns to a very different China where the infamous One Child Policy has had the horrific side effect of a boom in stolen children. With extraordinary access to devastated parents desperately searching for their stolen son; a man who brokers the deals and has sold his own offspring; and prospective parents grappling with giving up their soon-to-be-born daughter through lack of options, we are brought face to face with the crisis that such a stringent government policy has created among China's poorest people.
