Excerpt:
In The Sun Behind the Clouds, Tibetan filmmaker, Tenzing Sonam,
and his partner, Ritu Sarin, take a uniquely Tibetan perspective
on the trials and tribulations of the Dalai Lama and his people
as they continue their struggle for freedom in the face of
determined suppression by one of the world's biggest and most
powerful nations. The filmmakers had intimate access to the Dalai
Lama and followed him over the course of an eventful year, which
included the 2008 protests in Tibet, the international response
to it, the Beijing Olympics, and the breakdown in talks between
the Dalai Lama and the Chinese government. 

The film had its world premiere at the DMZ Korean International
Documentary Festival in October 2009 

It will have its London premiere at the Human Rights Watch
International Film Festival in March 2010

Lend me your wings 
I will not go far 
Only to Lithang and then I'll return
