Leaving Fear Behind (documentary, 24 mins)
Remarkable testimony of ordinary Tibetans. Shortly after the tapes were smuggled out of the country, the filmmakers were detained by the Chinese police. Golog Jigme was temporarily released after 7 months of imprisonment, during which he was severely tortured. Dhondup Wangchen remains in detention.

With music from Crossings, Friendship Band, Sam Cooke (Cybernetix) & Dubcat (Dub inna Pub) £5/ £3.50 concessions No one turned away through lack of funds.
