Our motivation to tell the story that became Snow Leopard Sisters stems from a desire to bring global awareness to this issue and to support Tshiring’s community-based conservation work. What began as a short film project for first-time director (and Tshiring’s sister) Sonam Choekyi Lama grew in ambition and scope as filming began. Throughout the production, we made a concerted effort to work collaboratively and ensure that the film primarily benefited the individuals and families involved.
