Filmmaker sentenced BEIJING: A Tibetan filmmaker who made a documentary that was highly critical of the Chinese government's policies in Tibet has been sentenced to six years in prison, a family friend said Thursday. Dhondup Wangchen, 35, was charged with trying to split the country and sentenced on December 28, said Wangpo Tethong. The family only recently found out about the punishment because court officials in the northwestern Chinese city of Xining have been withholding information from relatives, he said. Leaving Fear Behind features ordinary Tibetans and the filmmaker himself saying Beijing's policies in Tibet are threatening the region's traditional Buddhist culture.
