Women of Tibet: A Quiet Revolution Trailer

[LovinglyRubi]

China/Chinese you should be ashamed of what you are doing to this Tibetan people and there country...I just couldn't understand how can Chinese people take someone else freedom when they them self have experience the same or even worst treatment of cruelty from the Japanese back in WW2 (sorry for making Japanese ppl feel like the enemy but u had it coming :) ). I ask u China to bring peace and harmony to u'r Chinese ppl so they can see the light and feel love again...

Free Tibet! No more War! Peace on earth!

I saw this on PBS, I liked it. I'm curious now that I'm hearing about violent protest in Tibet what the women in the film would think about it.

This film is used in schools to teach Tibetan history - it's really well made.

One of the women interviewed in this film spent SEVENTEEN years in what basically amounts to a concentration camp - of the THREE HUNDRED women in this prison/work camp - only FOUR survived. The film tells a story that really has never been told, the women interviewed are as more rare historically than Holocaust survivors and I'm thankful that someone is preserving their stories.

Good point - it was your comments that made me buy a copy of A Quiet Revolution - I'm no stranger to the importance of preserving culture from persecuted people.

I don't think it's about politics so much as the actual human experience of going through the history. The women's side is never told, so this documentary is a rare find, and very good.

[paristheyaris]

This film airs on PBS - I saw it there. Tibetan Women's Uprising happened 50 years ago now so buy a copy and learn something!

[diabolita23]

This film tells an untold story of what it is like to be a modern Tibetan woman - born in exile - trying to figure out what it means to be Tibetan and how to pass that on to your children.

Victor36,

I recently watched a documentary of existing Chinese people who sell and buy children as young as babies. (trafficking)It is a common thing in China and your Chinese govn't doesn't really put law enforcement in effect to this outrageous out cry.

Tibet wasn't a slave system...it is a system that is close to serf dorm but at least when we had chiefs, or leaders...it was our own Tibetan people not Chinese. We'd rather have Tibetans than Chinese. Hope you got the point

[victorw36]

Your culture identity as slavery master? Too bad, 95% of Tibetans would no longer want to serve you for the entire life without their own basic right!

[misfitdeviant]

Did you even watch the film? It might teach you some more about Tibetan history.
