Mola: A Tibetan Tale of Love and Loss
2025 | Feature Documentary | Additional Editor
Kunsang Wangmo - known as “Mola” to her family - is a Tibetan nun exiled from her homeland in 1959 to escape the Chinese occupation. Now 100 years old, and after living with her daughter Sonam in Switzerland for the past 45 years, she decides her last wish is to die in Tibet. This is the story of a mother and daughter coming to terms with this phase in Mola’s life, and Sonam and her husband Martin's journey to make Mola’s last wish come true.
