ARROWS OF THE THUNDER DRAGON <br />A film by Greg Sneddon <br /><br />Set in the 1970s, the story follows brother and sister Kuenphen and Jamyang where in a remote Bhutanese village, they learn traditional archery from their old warrior grandfather. The respected but eccentric old man uses a heavy hand and strict discipline to train the young Kuenphen in the art of traditional archery. <br />It becomes clear Kuenphen has opportunities to further his interests while sister Jamyang must stay home to weave, cook and get married; a fate the young woman is not willing to accept without a fight. When Kuenphen has to leave the village to take his mother on a 3 day walk to the old castle for medical treatment, Jamyang's own desire to explore a wider world other than the norm of following her mothers traditional life is stimulated. <br /><br />Original language: Dzongka and English narration <br />Produced by: Tshering Dorji and Greg Sneddon
