About Miss Tibet: Beauty in Exhile
High in the Indian Himalayas, in the epicenter of the exiled Tibetan world, a maverick Tibetan impresario stages an unexpected spectacle: a western-style beauty pageant. When a Tibetan-American teenager travels to India to participate in this ‘pageant with a difference,’ she finds herself not just competing for a crown, but confronting the intersection between her cultural identity and life in the western world.
The film will be shown November 5, 2015 at 7 pm in the Marine Village Hall, 121 Judd Street, Marine on Saint Croix. Light refreshments and snacks will be served.
* This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
