01.01.2022 The story of Lhamo Dolma is one that touches the very heart of what it means to be human. It is a story about survival and loss, about motherhood and family, about living under a repressive regime and daring to escape to a new and uncertain life in a country far, far away. Against the backdrop of a culturally unique and ancient land, Tibet, struggling to retain its identity, we follow a young woman’s harrowing journey through harsh and dangerous terrain to eventually settle i...n Newcastle, Australia. In its essence, Lhamo’s story is one of struggle and resilience and hope. And it is a story that unfolds through the power of song.
