This 46 minutes documentary explores genders roles and the violence against women in exile through an original life-story of a Tibetan Woman On the Edge in India.

I first met ANGIE/ANGU and her baby Peggy in 2012 while doing field research in New Delhi (India) about “Gender and Exile” in the Tibetan colony in India. I was introduced to her by a Tibetan friend. He asked me to help Angie because she was left alone in a very dire situation. Her husband was in prison and she was isolated with a baby. Angie was terribly sick and cured for epilepsy. The Tibetan colony was protective for the baby but also despising and socially judging Angie. Angie was very poor, dressed with rugs. She had a baby outside marriage with a Black Kenyan man and was thus perceived as an outcast inside her own community. Osmond, the father of the baby, had beaten up Angie so badly that he was jailed in 2012. She was seriously injured on her skull with a stick. Osmond was out of jail in October 2013 and despite the bad treatments Angie took her man again in her house. They lived hidden because the Tibetan Association of Women asked Angie not to host Osmond anymore in her house. Meanwhile their baby Peggy was taken to an orphan house in the Himalaya by the Tibetan Welfare Association. They were missing the baby and expressed the wish to visit their child Peggy in the Himalaya mountains.

The documentary film tells the story of this visit. Will Osmond and Angie succeed to get their baby back? This documentary explores genders roles and the violence against women in exile through an original life-story of a Tibetan Woman On the Edge in India.
