High on the windswept Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, 78-year-old Nyima is on a mission 🏔️. His dream? To revive the ancient Dro dances—a vibrant Tibetan tradition recognized as intangible cultural heritage. But as CGTN's new documentary Grandpa Nyima’s Dream reveals, balancing modernity and tradition isn’t easy.
The film follows Badro, Nyima’s former student, torn between his job in the city and his duty to preserve his roots. 💼 vs. 🎭—it’s a struggle resonating with young Tibetans nationwide. Through stunning 4K visuals and raw conversations, the documentary captures their crossroads: How do you honor the past while building a future?
Premiering December 7 (Tibetan Butter Lamp Festival 🪔), this 60-minute feature isn’t just about dance—it’s a window into life on the 'Roof of the World.' Will Nyima’s dream take flight? Tune in to find out!
