Highlights from the BFI National Archive's extensive collection of films shot in Tibet prior to the Chinese occupation can now be seen in the BBC/BFI co-production, 'The Lost World of Tibet' (2008). Featuring a potent interview with the Dalai Lama an extended version the documentary is available to buy on DVD from the BFI Filmstore - http://filmstore.bfi.org.uk/acatalog/...
These extraordinary scenes were filmed in Tibet in the 1940s and include shots of the current Dalai Lama (then still a very young boy) and his family. The opening scenes show the Dalai Lama's parents and siblings, and a procession of high-ranking men and women. This is followed by a clip of a procession with the Dalai Lama in a golden palanquin, his presence indicated by the peacock feather umbrella being carried alongside. The final scenes, in contrast, show ordinary children dancing and ice-skating in Lhasa.
You can now watch over 20 hours of films made in Tibet between 1922 and 1949 in the Mediatheque at BFI Southbank. These include the films of plant hunter and botanist George Sherriff (his love of nature is reflected in the remarkable jewel-like colours of his films); James Guthrie, a Medical Officer who - among rather more important things - removed a cyst from the eye of one of the Dalai Lama's peacocks and Frederick Bailey: Political Agent, butterfly collector and spy. http://www.bfi.org.uk/mediatheque

There were NO serfs, indentured farmers or slaves in Tibet in 1948.
There were serfs in Tibet AFTER the communist invasion of the COUNTRY of Tibet in 1949.
Friedrich Hayek and Mikhael Gorbachev argue that the PRC's experimentation with collective farming and People's communes in the 1950s and 60s amounted to a return to government-owned serfdom.
There are SLAVES in Chinese Slavery Prisons in 2009 working 16 hours a day 7 days a week.
Tibet before Chinese occupation was an absolute hell hole where, for one example, the dark shadow of slavery still existed in it's very worst and most barbaric form. Don't believe everything, no, ANYTHING, Western politicians tell you of China.
China has gained the No.1 Position in many Fields: No 1 in Piracy ?...China No 1 in Torture?.. . China No 1 in Brutality ? China No 1 in Pollution ?.. . China No 1 in Executions?.. . China No 1 in Slave Prisons?.. China No 1 in Internet Censorship?.. China No 1 in Endangered Species?...China No 1 in Human Rights Abuse?.. .China
and so ???? Sorbs in Germany have an different language and an different look and tradition (they are slavian) but they are still german and so the people in south tirol - they speak german but they are still italians - the same for the alsacians in france, etc., etc.
