'The Tankman'

The Edge Cinema
Saturday September 6th @ 6 15 pm (Rated M)

On Saturday September 6th at 6 15 pm at the Edge Cinema in Katoomba, Sakya Trinley Ling - Tibetan Buddhist Dharma Activities group is proud to bring you an extraordinary and historical documentary made by PBS in America 'The Tankman.' Along with the film, our guest speaker for the evening will be secretary for the Federation for a democratic China, Mr Tao Wenhong. Sakya Trinley Ling has actively participated in the 'Race for Tibet' which has aimed to make the Beijing Olympics a catalyst for change in Tibet. This evening is also part of this campaign.
The Olympics will soon end - yet the struggle for human rights freedoms and an end to the persecution and violence in Tibet and China itself is far from over. It has become obvious through the media that in spite of China's best efforts to showcase themselves in a positive light, their absolute intolerence of freedom of expression and information has become glaringly obvious to the world. This film is an outstanding revelation of the impact of this lone figure who came to be known as 'the tankman' and his world wide symbolic power. The film also then reveals not only the way in which China has risen to economic power, but a timeline history and detailed accounts of the Tianamen Square massacre.
This will be an exceptional evening not to be missed. As always, all profits made from the evening go to Dharma. We will also have our famous Chai and Cakes for sale as well as a raffle and Dharma shop. Tickets are available from the Edge Cinema or visit our Online Shop.
