prevailed during the period, highlighting how ordinary Tibetans, including
farmers and traders, took up arms to resist the advancing Chinese People’s
Liberation Army. Beyond the historical events, the film tells a deeply human
story of resistance, perseverance and the tragic flight of people forced to
leave their homeland.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Garamond",serif;

mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Adding particular significance to the premiere, two
veterans who were part of the Chushi Gangdruk resistance were also present at
the event. Their presence served as a powerful connection between the
historical events depicted on screen and those who experienced and participated
in the resistance firsthand.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Garamond",serif;
mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Following its grand premiere and already having a
successful international run, ‘4 Rivers 6 Ranges’ is scheduled for an all-India
theatrical release on September 18. The film is expected to bring an important
chapter of Tibetan history to audiences across India while highlighting the
