Stanzin Gya: Living with Change in the High Himalayas

Join us on The Founder Spirit podcast with Stanzin Gya, whose films are a testament to the power of storytelling rooted in truth and authenticity—giving voice to the High Himalayan communities and their urgent ecological concerns. His journey from shepherd boy on the Tibetan plateau to global storyteller encapsulates the resilient human spirit and unyielding hope for a sustainable future.Stanzin shares how documentaries became his tool not just for storytelling but for activism, after witnessing the devastating flash flood in 2010 that threatened both ecosystems and communities. His films, like Shepherdess of the Glaciers and Living with Change, illuminate the urgency of climate action and the importance of preserving indigenous wisdom and eco-heritage. Through his lens, you'll learn how truth, authenticity, and respect for nature can spark real impact.How did Stanzin, who grew up without a television, rise to become an award-winning documentarian?
