Selling our DVD's is one way we hope to finance The Tibetan Photo Project Film Makers Education Centers in India, but we also know its important for as many people as possible to see these films. (We also share a percentage of sales with the filmmaker)
Please, after viewing the films, consider a donation if you can... but at the very least... please tell friends.
Visually and Respectfully Yours, Sazzy Varga and Joe Mickey

The Tibetan Photo Project on CNN in April
We have been informed and asked to produce material for a segment for a new program scheduled to air on CNN on Saturdays, beginning April 12. On March 27, CNN informed us that the segment was in the editing stage. This is the news we currently have. Check back, if we get advance broadcast information we will post a schedule.
Last night, 27th January 2007 was the first fundraising event at
the Dee Why Community Centre in Sydney. The Gyang-bod team
hosted a wonderful evening of entertainment and information on the
Tibetan issue. It was an evening of music, food, guest speakers,
finishing with a screening of the documentary "Voices in Exile" .
The Tibetan cultural events are proving to be a very popular item on
the Sydney calendar, as they are thoroughly enjoyed by participants
and guests alike. A social network is built between the general local
Australian community and the rapidly expanding Tibetan sector of the
community. Attending guests feel they have been transported to Tibet
for a night to experience the culture, warmth and pain of an occupied
nation, leaving at the end with information about the current situation
in Tibet and what they can do to support the plight.
"Their work precisely captures with insight and enthusiasm
the life of exiled
Tibetans." -Bobbie Liegh, Art & Antiques Magazine

themselves and
give voice to their story and culture."
