The image put forward by the Culture Week of Tibetans as “happy, dancing, exotic people” is far from reality, said Urgyen Badheytsang, Canadian director of Students for a Free Tibet. “Right now Tibet is one of the least free countries in the world,” he said. Members of the Canadian Tibetan Association of Ontario, Students for a Free Tibet Canada and Dokham Chushe Gangdruk Society of Canada are threatening to protest the TIFF screening if organizers do not cancel it. “This is no different than if you were to be showing [Leni] Riefenstahl’s Triumph of the Will in the 1930s, with an accompanying dance troupe of Jewish and Roma performers,” the group writes in an open letter to TIFF and media partner the Toronto Star.
