Description 1 online resource (54 minutes) Summary Chinese troops invaded Tibet in 1950. Tibet's small army was quickly overrun. The representatives of Tibet's spiritual and temporal leader, the Dalai Lama, were coerced into signing an agreement, which accepted Tibet to be a part of China. The 1959 March uprising was brutally crushed. The Dalai Lama escaped to India followed by nearly 100, 000 Tibetans. The film explores the tension between the Dalai Lama's efforts to find a peaceful solution based on compromise and dialogue, and the impatience of a younger generation of Tibetans who are ready to take a more confrontational course Notes Title from resource description page (viewed July 22, 2020) Originally released as a documentary film in 2009 Performer Narrator: Tenzing Sonam Participant: Dalai Lama Notes In English and Chinese with English subtitles Vaclav Havel Award, One World Film Festival, Prague Subject Bstan-ʼdzin-rgya-mtsho, Dalai Lama XIV, 1935- -- Political activity SUBJECT Bstan-ʼdzin-rgya-mtsho, Dalai Lama XIV, 1935- fast (OCoLC)fst00056710 Subject Refugees, Tibetan -- Political activity -- India -- Dharmsāla Autonomy and independence movements Political participation Politics and government SUBJECT Tibet Autonomous Region (China) -- Politics and government -- 1951- http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85135221 Tibet Autonomous Region (China) -- History -- Autonomy and independence movements Subject China -- Tibet Autonomous Region India -- Dharmsāla Genre/Form Documentary films Feature films History Nonfiction films Documentary films.
