Documentary Film Reviews: Nowhere To Call Home PACIFIC AFFAIRS
6/1/2015 by Emily T. Yeh
Veteran radio correspondent Jocelyn Ford has produced a poignant and important documentary that follows the story of Zanta, a rural Tibetan migrant struggling to make a living in Beijing. The film weaves together narratives of female suffering and agency under patriarchal gender relations with the little-studied phenomenon of Tibetan migrants in eastern China, and the account of a Western outsider wondering whether and how to get involved in a family dispute that she knows she has little understanding of.

Nowhere to Call Home follows a Tibetan farmer who leaves her village to work in Beijing for the sake of her son’s education despite overwhelming discrimination the two face amid the political strife that has gripped China and Tibet. The story is the first vérité film centered on Tibetan farmers who migrate to Han Chinese cities, and one that will redirect Western perspectives on the ethnic group in both settings.

“A touching encounter with a woman who, despite the difficulties, demonstrates admirable courage.”
Un destin tibétain
Zanta, veuve et mère d’un petit garçon, a quitté Barwo, village isolé des hauts plateaux tibétains à l’ouest de la Chine, pour Pékin. Elle a en effet décidé de scolariser son fils contre l’avis de sa belle-famille tyrannique. La réalisatrice, journaliste qui a croisé sa route par hasard, retrace son parcours de déracinée.
Notre avis
Une rencontre touchante avec une femme qui, malgré les difficultés, fait preuve d’un courage admirable.
Arte Magazine
June 2015
“Zanta struggles to escape poverty, racism and humiliation. The portrait of this woman struggling against her “karma” is an uncompromising look– running counter to some ideas– which is focused on Tibet’s clan society and the difficulty of being Tibetan in China.”
Victime de violences familiales et policières, Zanta se bat pour échapper à la pauvreté, au racisme et aux humiliations. À travers le portrait de cette femme luttant contre son “karma”, c’est un regard sans concession – aux antipodes de certaines idées reçues – qui est porté sur la société clanique tibétaine et sur la difficulté d’être tibétain en Chine. Suivi à 22.40 d’un entretien (10mn) avec Kelsang Gyaltsen, représentant du dalaï-lama auprès de l’Union européenne.
