The Tibetan Odyssey

After the Dalai Lama and tens of thousands of Tibetans fled into exile in 1959, they faced the task of surviving in a new land while keeping their nation, culture and identity alive.

The Tibetan Odyssey, made by Tibet TV for the Central Tibetan Administration’s Year of Gratitude in 2020, tells the story of that journey: the hard struggle of the early years, the rehabilitation of refugees in India and Nepal, and the resilience that has kept the Tibetan community together in exile.
