My Country is Tibet Preview
India is home to tens of thousands of Tibetan refugees. But only one—17-year-old Namgyal Wangchuk Trichen Lhagyari—was crowned King of Tibet by the Dalai Lama. But this young exiled king doesn't live in a palace; he lives in a settlement and does chores. Mentored by filmmaker Dirk Simon, Namgyal shows how he and other young exiles preserve their traditions and culture. Check local listings.
