TEAM TIBET:
HOME AWAY FROM HOME - THE THUTEN KESANGE STORY

"Award of Distinction" - IndieFEST

"Award of Excellence" - Impact DOCS

"Special Jury Award" - NAFA Awards

This multi-award winning bio-doc tells the fascinating and inspiring story of Thuten Kesang, New Zealand's first Tibetan refugee. Sent by his father to school in India as a child, he was raised by Scottish   Presbyterians and unable to return to Tibet after his parents were arrested in the wake of the 1959 uprising. A fully-committed Kiwi since 1967, Thuten never lost his defining Tibetan identity and as a  charismatic storyteller he provides a thorough and inspiring  account of Tibetan culture in exile. The Dalai Lama hailed Thuten Kesang as "a  vital point of contact for the international exile community and a  tireless advocate for multicultural visibility in New Zealand."
