YETI - Chapter 02

YETI is a non-profit, collaborative film project that will be released online on 8th august 2008 when the Olympic Games start in Beijing. The objective of this film project is to reach student communities worldwide and to gather support for the peaceful struggle of the Tibetan people in the age of weapons and wars. It will also attempt to provide the viewer with an understanding of the Tibetan Uprising Movement at this critical point in Tibetan history. Can Tibetans get their country back from Communist China by using flags and prayers against their modern weapons?

YETI The mighty Himalayan man, is a myth now. Tibet as a free nation and the existence of Tibetans as the rightful people of Tibet is being made into a myth by the Communist Chinese government. YETI is a symbol of hope for all Tibetans, praying to become the Mighty Himalayan Spiritual Nation once again. It's the story of Tibetans born in India, living a dream of going back to their free country one day.

YETI is a film set in the backdrop of Mcleodganj, which is the Tibetan capital in exile and is called "the little Lhasa of India". It depicts the angst and anger inside Tibetans, who are peacefully trying to get their country as well as their human rights back with support from people all over the world. It is a film on Tibetans in exile and their cry for freedom in modern times, when greed and aggression is ruling the world.

YETI rouses your curiosity on why democratic countries are not seriously intervening in the Tibetan issue like they did in Iraq and Afghanistan. It makes you think whether the spiritual and peace loving Tibetans will eventually take the violent path and create unrest in a region which until now has been more peaceful then the rest of the world.

YETI shows you how Tibetans look at the Olympic Games in Beijing as their best chance in 49 years, when the international media is closely following the happenings in Communist China where the human rights situation is at its worst. It's a provoking visual documentary on Tibet, Tibetans and the worst possible steps they might resort to, such as self sacrificing monks blowing themselves up just for the sake of freedom and peace.
