Vultures of Tibet

Vultures of Tibet

21 min

Filmmakers: Russell O. Bush, Annie Bush

Sky Burial, a private ritual where the bodies of Tibetan dead are offered to wild griffon vultures, becomes a tourist attraction in Chinese-modernized Tibet. This intimate window illuminates an ideological conflict often hidden to the outside world, confronting the potential for oppression in the act of observation.

2:27 pm on Saturday at the Opera House Block 5
