ABOUT THIS PROJECT

 

Techung is a half an hour documentary film highlighting the world renowned Tibetan exile musician, singer

and composer, Jola Techung and his indomitable spirit in educating Tibetan exile kids and toddlers about our

literature and language through songs and music. This film will also explore the conflicting realities of a gifted

Tibetan artist who struggles to live a modest life while preserving one of the oldest art forms on this planet.

Standard Tibetan population in Tibet is 6 million while that of Chinese in China's is 1.3 billion. Sadly the Han

Chinese population in Tibet had already surpassed those of Tibetans. HH the Dalai Lama, out of sheer

desperation alarmed the world, 'Whether knowingly or unknowingly some kind of cultural genocide is taking

place inside Tibet nowadays.' Although Tibetans all over the world work hard to keep our language intact, but

it remain a major challenge when we are already a marginalized people in exile. Therefore, at this crucial

moment, Techung's attempt to educate Tibetan kids about our roots is in fact very timely if not late.
