Editorial Reviews

This is the hour version of the DVD about Tibetan refugees and what they said about their lives in Tibet. The language is Tibetan and English, but since there is no Tibetan category, it's listed as Chinese.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful story of refugees, April 20, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Tibetan Refugee (DVD)

This is the first film about Tibetan refugees where I actually hear their own story in their own voices. The people in the film have just arrived after walking over the Himalayas, and the filmmaker gives a tour of Dharamsala, India, where they arrive, as well as where they're blessed by the Dalai Lama. I was taken aback by the amount of children and monks who are forced to leave their homeland to learn how to read and write Tibetan. The Chinese government should be forced to watch this film. Bravo to the filmmakers, would like to know more about them.

This review is from: Tibetan Refugee [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Although only 30 minutes, proceeds from sale of the film go to the Tibetan Transit Center in Dharamsala. This film shows the experience Tibetans go through once they've escaped from Tibet. Inteviews with refugees with their tales of torture and forced sterilizations at the hand of the Chinese, includes footage of The Karmapa, The Dalai Lama, Grammy award winner Yungchen Lhamo (a former transit center refugee) and Robert Thurman. This video has been chosen by Amnesty Intl. for it's recent campaign for human rights in Tibet.
