The Tibetan Photo Project Mission Statement
The goal of The Tibetan Photo Project is to provide the tools and education to create a voice from the films and photos by Tibetans.
While there have been thousands of great visual works documenting the Tibetans, most have been from the perspective of the Western eye.
The Tibetan Photo Project is working to present the Tibetans' own perspective through this Website, exhibits, films, DVD's and other visual programs created from their own photographic work or by film and photo efforts directed by Tibetans.
July 14- "Answered Prayers"-Join Producers Joe Mickey and Sazzy Varga for a rare screening by a Tibetan filmmaker who captured the amazing untold story of The Dalai Lama's visit to a remote

film, the story and ending all add up to miracles.
Joe and Sazzy will provide insights and take questions live and online following the
