Director Statement

It was sheer madness - a Rock Band winding up with a Tibetan Protest Singer to make a record far apart from all world music clichés. Plus Tom and me, with the absolute will to put 86h of footage to a document about this almost impossible task. My very first movie, world premiere at the Crossing Europe Festival 2015, awarded "Artist's Choice" at the Live Free Or Die Film Festival Manchester, NH, 2016
