Summaries

When a Tibetan refugee dies from a terminal illness, his last wish to set foot on his native soil remains unfulfilled - until his son, a New York-based artist, embarks on an unthinkable journey.

When New York based Tibetan artist Tenzing Rigdol's father passes away in exile with an unfulfilled wish to take his last breath in Tibet, Tenzing realizes that his father's dream to return home to his lost nation is shared by all exiles. Driven by this realization, the artist embarks on a mission to reunite the Tibetan land with its people, literally, through an art project that involves smuggling 20,000 kilograms of native Tibetan soil to India.—Five by Nine Films
