Kindness, a letter from Tibet is a portrait film about Tsering Jampa, director of International Campaign for Tibet.
Director Clémentine Ederveen blends dramatized black-and-white scenes from Jampa’s childhood with the unruly political reality in which Tibet now finds itself. The way Tsering Jampa takes action with ICT is inseparable from the ancient culture of kindness she was raised with.
Tsering Jampa, in the past general secretary of the international rights organization UNPO, has now lived in the Netherlands for more than 20 years. At the age of 4, her peaceful life was cruelly disrupted when Chinese soldiers occupied her home. Not long after, the family flees from Tibet to India. Her mother’s singing, ancient stories and her father’s prayers fill her consciousness.
At the age of 12, Tsering finds the key to the answer to her questions about pain and injustice: it lies within an ancient Tibetan verse. Forty years later in March 2008, her people in Tibet unexpectedly revolt. During a demonstration at the Chinese Embassy in The Hague, she magisterially manages to quell the pain and frustration of her young compatriots.
