Join CAAM and Asia Society Northern California on Thursday, April 30 for a special screening of Nowhere to Call Home: A Tibetan in Beijing, a new film by Jocelyn Ford.

“This fascinating documentary provides a rare glimpse into the world of a Tibetan farmer, torn between her traditional way of life and her desire for her son to have a better future in the city. Shot in the slums of Beijing and a remote village near the epicenter of Tibetan self-immolations, this gripping story of a woman determined to beat the odds puts a human face on the political strife that fractures China and Tibet.” (Asia Society Northern California)

The director Jocelyn Ford will be in attendance for a Q&A following the screening. For more information about the program visit the Asia Society Northern California website. Current members of CAAM and Asia Society receive discounted admission of $10 for this screening.
