A group of Tibetan refugees were staging a daring escape from their homeland when armed Chinese border police pursued them up into the thin are and opened fire. In the aftermath, Tibetan teenage nun Kelsang Namatsu was dead. Incredibly, the climbers captured the entire harrowing ordeal on camera. In this film, that original footage combines with reenactments and interviews with witnesses and survivors in order to provide a detailed account of the tragic incident, and highlight the plight of the many young Tibetans who risk their lives crossing the Himalaya Mountains in order to meet their spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, or seek an education in India. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
