Pawo (film)

Pawo (Hero) is a 2016 Tibetan-language film by Marvin Litwak and Sonam Tseten, set in McLeod Ganj, chronicling the life of a young Tibetan refugee boy in India after escaping over Himalayas in search of freedom.

[1][2] The film is loosely based on late Jamphel Yeshi who self-immolated in protest against human right violations in Tibet.

After the death of his father, it all comes to a point, where he realizes that his wings are already cut, what it means to be Tibetan in a country which is called "China".

[5] The narrative of the film is typical of many Tibetan refugees who annually flee persecution from Chinese authorities and pull a precarious existence of limbo in India.

This song is vocalized by the leading Tibetan diaspora's rockband JJI Brothers's Tenzin Jamyang.
