Description
As seen on National Geographic's Short Film Showcase 2016, Director Russell O.

Filmed in August, 2011, when regional tensions became so unbearable that scores of Tibetans began setting themselves on fire; Vultures of Tibet reveals the current state of Sky Burial as an anecdote of the larger ideological issues in Tibet today. Exposing a world in which nature and culture, humans and animals, spirituality and politics are all interconnected, Vultures of Tibet engages audiences with the potential for oppression in the act of looking..
