Hijacking Tibet / Hijacking Tibet
His documentary “Kidnapping Tibet” has already been presented as a world premiere, within the framework of the ninth edition of the International Film and Human Rights Festival “Humans Fest” from Valencia.
“Hijacking Tibet” is about the Chinese occupation of Tibet and its global significance, since it has come to cause a change in our laws of universal jurisdiction. We talk to your producer, Samuel Sebastián y con el magistrado Baltasar Garzón en "Hoy x Hoy Locos por Valencia".
THE DIRECTOR
“I have traveled to Tibet several times and there I have been able to learn about an ancient culture.”, vitalist and full of color… but I have also met what is probably one of the most oppressed people in the world: a kidnapped culture, some lives kidnapped, an entire country kidnapped”
These are statements by Juanma Chavarrías, director and producer of Kidnapping Tibet, who, based on some of his own filming in Tibet, began filming a documentary that has this idea of the kidnapping of an entire country as a common thread. Its intention is to show on the one hand, the reality of a country completely forgotten in the Western world and, for another, denounce how the economy can come to be above human rights.
En "Secuestrando el Tíbet" They tell how the Chinese occupation in Tibet will cause the disappearance of the Tibetan population. But not only that, China's influence on the Western world becomes more than clear when a complaint for genocide was filed in Spain against the Chinese government and the laws of universal jurisdiction were quickly changed so that this genocide would go unpunished..
The objective of the documentary is to promote reflection on inequality, universal justice and the free exercise of democracy without fear of reprisals.
The documentary is not yet finished and they have opened a crowdfunding account to finish the last interviews.
