Nowhere To Call Home
YALE CLUB OF SAN FRANCISCO
04/2015
Film Screening and Q&A with director Jocelyn Ford
April 30th, 2015, 7 pm
145 9th Street, San Francisco 94117
Directed by Jocelyn Ford, the film provides a rare glimpse into the world of a Tibetan villager, 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 recent Tibetan protests, this gripping story of a woman determined to beat the odds puts a human face on the political strife that fractures China and Tibet. Along the way, it challenges common Western stereotypes about Tibet, and reveals a dark side of village life, where, as the saying goes, “women aren’t worth a penny,” while adding fresh insights into the harsh discrimination faced by Tibetan migrant workers. Jocelyn Ford, the director, will be on site to answer any questions.
