A young Tibetan woman living in Northern India takes a trip back to her village in Tibet to visit family. For the last two years she has been working for Drewla, a Tibetan NGO that provides ways for Tibetans inside Tibet to connect with the diaspora online. The trip does not go as planned.

When she reaches the Nepalese-Tibetan border she is immediately taken into detention and held for two months. Chinese authorities interrogate her about her employment in Dharamsala. The young woman denies being involved in any political activities and insists she went to Dharamsala for studies. The authorities presented a stack of chat transcripts from conversations she has had online. They explained to her that they have been monitoring Drewla and knew about its activities. They eventually released the woman and allowed her to travel to her village with a message for her colleagues back in Dharamsala: “You are not welcome to return to Tibet”
