Program Description

Event Details

Join us for a viewing of Lunana: A Yak in the Classroom (Dzongkha: ལུང་ནག་ན), a 2019 Bhutanese drama film directed by Pawo Choyning Dorji in his feature directorial debut.

In the film, a young teacher in modern Bhutan shirks his duties while planning to go to Australia to become a singer. As a reprimand, his superiors send him to the most remote school, a village called Lunana, to complete his service. After an arduous eight-day trek just to get there, he finds himself exiled from Western comforts and finds no electricity, textbooks—not even a blackboard.
