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...

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 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.
