Jungwa- The Broken Balance (52 min; 2012; dvd; English subtitles)

Directed by Stanzin Dorjai Gya, award winning film maker from Ladakh who will introduce the film 

Co-Directed by Christine Mordelet

 

Screening will be followed by a discussion

 

Screened at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris (COP 21), this critically acclaimed film explores the relationship between Buddhism and the environment. Jungwa draws upon unique footage from the 2010 flash floods, one of the worst natural disasters to befall Ladakh in living memory. Concerned about the increasing disruption of balance between human beings and their environment exacerbated by climate change, Stanzin Gya, explores the spiritual link that always connected people with nature. Through the film, Stanzin leads us to meet Ladakhis from all walks of life, from shepherds and villagers to experts in climatology or solar energy
