The Tibetan film Pawo [“martyr” in Tibetan] has won awards in three categories at the Spring 2016 International Independent Film Awards. The film was based on the life of Jamphel Yeshi, a young Tibetan man who self-immolated on March 26, 2012 in Delhi, protesting against China’s continued rule over Tibet. Pawo was made by a Tibet-German crew and features all Tibetan actors.
