Never Forget Tibet: The Dalai Lama's Untold Story
One Night Only in Select Theaters
Thursday, March 31, 2022 at 7pm
Never Forget Tibet: The Dalai Lama's Untold Story:   A new feature documentary that explores one of the most significant moments in 20th Century history, His Holiness 14th Dalai Lama's incredible escape into exile from occupied Tibet in 1959, which he tells in his own words for the first time on film.
Includes the previously unknown private diary of the Indian political officer who led him to safety, Har Mander Singh. Incorporating interviews with the Dalai Lama's family, the Tibetan Community living in Exile and those with historic ties to Tibet, this culturally significant story offers insights into the importance of our shared worldwide humanity and reveals the incredible details of the Dalai Lama's escape and his wider message of compassion firsthand. It also documents the rich art, culture, and traditions of the region.
"We've received a lot of interest in Never Forget Tibet from around the world and it's more timely than ever this film goes out and shares the first-hand account of the dramatic escape of His Holiness. By combining this incredible story with Tibetan music, prayers and ancient mantras we hope the film conveys some of the beauty and depth of Tibetan culture for audiences to enjoy and experience for themselves. In these strange times we are all living through, it's essential we share our love and compassion with each other and the natural world. This is at the heart of the Dalai Lama's message."
7:00 pm, March 31, 2022 World Premiere is open to everyone to attend at 800+ participating theaters across the U.S. and Canada. Please book in advance.
