520    This gritty and ultimately uplifting film gives an 
       unprecedented view of the life of a rural Tibetan widow 
       battling ethnic discrimination as she ekes out a living as
       a street vendor in China's capital. Filmed over three 
       years, this intimate documentary also examines family life
       in a traditional Tibetan village, where age-old gender 
       roles are being challenged by forces of modernization and 
       contemporary concepts of social justice. In the article 
       Inspiring Dialogue,NotDissent, in China, The New York 
       Times wrote: "Thefilm breaks downthesometimes romantic 
       Shangri-La view that Westerners have of Tibet... andoffers
       a shocking portrait oftheoutright racism... Tibetans face 
       in Chinese parts ofthecountry."..Widowed young, 
       protagonist Zanta stands up to her autocratic father-in-
       law, who wants to deny her son a school education and is 
       teaching his grandson to steal. She brings her young child
       to Beijing where she overcomes discrimination to make her 
       dream of an education come true, on the way making heart-
       wrenching sacrifices. Her encounters with U.S. public 
       radio journalist and director Jocelyn Ford, who gets 
       involved in the street vendor's plight of her child's 
       schooling, raise questions about journalism and 
       contemporary documentary practices...Translated into 11 
       languages and recipient of numerous awards, this trail 
       blazing personal film has had a surprising welcome in the 
       People's Republic of China, where it has paved the way for
       Chinese and Tibetans to engage in groundbreaking 
       discussions on ethnic tensions. The film also opens 
       discussion on gender issues in the haloed Buddhist culture
       of Tibet, where the word for woman literally translates as
       "inferior birth." Probing the preeminent social issues of 
       our times-- migration, globalization, gender, education 
       equity, economic inequality, media literacy, the clash of 
       religion and modernization-- NOWHERE TO CALL HOME shrinks 
       the world by showing the social issues that China faces 
       share a lot in common with those faced by other major 
       economies...NOWHERE TO CALL HOME premiered at the Museum 
       of Modern Art (MoMA) and has been screened in over 15 
       countries, including at Tibet film festivals and at 
       China's Xinhua News Agency, the voice of the Communist 
       Party, as well as at numerous high schools in China. Itwas
       selected as the opening documentary at the launch of both 
       New York University Law Schools' Robert L. Bernstein's 
       Institute for Human Rights as well as at China 
       Agricultural University's new Center of Documentary 
       studies. It was winner of one of the Japan Prize's 
       prestigious awards for educational documentaries, and was 
       a semi-finalist for the Guangzhou International 
       Documentary Film Festival's prestigious Golden Kapok 
       award...Media Comments:."An American filmmaker has made a 
       documentary on Tibet. Those two elements alone might seem 
       grounds for China's Communist Party to ban it, but instead
       the film -Nowhere to Call Home- quietly has been making 
       the rounds in China and winning praise from local 
       audiences."--National Public Radio:American Film On A 
       Tibetan Migrant Finds Unlikely Success - In China.."This 
       is no moral fairy tale, but a story of the social change 
       underway in some Tibetan areas, spurred on by economic 
       opportunity and education. These seeds of modernity may 
       empower women and put to rest the old Tibetan saying 
       "women aren't worth a penny."In short, this is a film well
       worth watching for all those ready to put to test their 
       preconceptions about the Land of the Snows." --Forbes 
       'Nowhere To Call Home', A Film By Jocelyn Ford: A New 
       Perspective OnTibet...Nominated for Video Librarian's Best
