Friends and colleagues: The latest installment of the Video News from TAC features the following story:
* Filmmaker Tashi Wangchuk followed Tsering Dorjee, exiled Tibetan folk artist, for about six months with a camera to make a film about displaced Tibetans in exile. This film is a real life story about Dorjee and his initiative in passing down centuries-old Tibetan literature and performing arts that are being erased inside Tibet to the Tibetan younger generation in the San Francisco Bay area. He does this through the community’s Sunday school and the school’s annual day event, which serves the younger generation who were born and raised in the US.
You can see these stories in the August 2014 edition of this monthly half-hour show, available now on our nonprofit streaming-media Web site, The Archaeology Channel (http://www.archaeologychannel.org) as well as on cable TV in cities across the US.
Launched in October 2010, the Video News from TAC has presented 106 stories on highly varied topics in 16 US states and territories, 27 other countries, and two heavenly bodies (the Earth and the Moon). Video News program details can be found at http://www.archaeologychannel.org/video-guide/video-news-from-tac-new. The growing list of 26 cable TV stations carrying the show is posted at http://www.archaeologychannel.org/video-guide/video-news-from-tac-new/127-hidden-articles/296-video-news-on-cable-tv.
After four complete years of production, this is the last edition of the Video News from TAC. We are excited to announce its replacement by a newly designed program, Strata: Portraits of Humanity, which will launch in October. Stay tuned for more announcements about Strata.
This and other programs are available on TAC for your use and enjoyment.
