Ropetackle Film Club: Lunana – A Yak In The Classroom

About this event

Staggeringly photogenic.

The story behind this film is as heartwarming as the tale it tells. A disillusioned teacher finds meaning in his life (and a new use for yak dung) while teaching at the world’s most remote school.

The emphatically feel-good first feature from Pawo Choyning Dorji, set in an isolated mountain community in Bhutan, garnered such a warm global reception that it ended up being nominated for an Oscar in 2022 – quite an achievement for the tiny Himalayan kingdom.

P.S. the stoic yak is called Norbu!
