Please join us for the Nepal Studies Initiative’s first film screening. We will be showing “The Refugees of Shangri La”. The event is being sponsored by the Nepal Studies Initiative and co-organized with the Nepalese Student Association, the Center for Human Rights, and the International Rescue Committee.
After being torn from paradise and surviving twenty long years in refugee camps, the Kingdom of Bhutan’s forgotten exiles abandon hopes of returning home and seek a future in a far off place called America.
