This week on Salt Lake Dirt, I’m thrilled to talk about the poignant documentary Mola: A Tibetan Tale of Love and Loss. Yangzom Brauen (filmmaker) and Katherine Leblond (producer) join me to share the heartfelt journey of creating a film that captures the life of a Tibetan nun and the deep bonds of family amidst the backdrop of cultural displacement.
Yangzom recounts how the project began as a personal endeavor to document her grandmother's life, leading to a profound exploration of identity, love, and loss. We discuss the challenges and triumphs of filming intimate family moments while navigating the complexities of documentary storytelling.
Katherine shares her passion for the project and the emotional connection she felt to the narrative, highlighting the universal themes of acceptance and the human experience that resonate throughout the film. Together, they reflect on the significance of their upcoming premiere at the prestigious South by Southwest Film Festival and the impact they hope the film will have on audiences.
This is a conversation filled with warmth, vulnerability, and inspiration. Don’t miss it!
