Far From Home is about the fight against the erasure of both the Tibetan nation and a father’s memories, collected against the ticking clock of Alzheimer’s. TC Tethong and his Canadian wife, Judy, helped carve a Tibetan settlement out of a South Indian jungle in the 1960s. Featuring a never-before-seen archive of a precarious era for Tibetans struggling to survive on borrowed soil, this intimate family story of love and courage reflects upon the nature of memory and intergenerational loss and resilience, while preserving a vulnerable oral history of the aging, last connection to a free Tibet.
