Tibet, my dream

Gilbert Leroy

Description

In 2014, Gilbert Leroy met Tenzin Tsundue, an activist for the freedom of Tibet. They talked about China, which, in Tibet, is entering the era of gigantic projects : unrestrained mining, nuclear testing and radioactive storage, countless dams... Since 2010, one hundred and fifty Tibetans have chosen a form of extreme resistance to this: self-immolation. After a long silence, Tenzin Tsundue had this reflection: «We can also resist without self-immolating». This is how the idea of giving Tibetan students the floor, by offering them the opportunity to express themselves on the theme of "Tibet, mon rêve". During the year 2016, Gilbert Leroy sought to meet most of these students, thirteen of them are published here, thirteen life paths.
