Tibet: the Bamboo Curtain Falls

An excellent episode of The World About Us that documents the history of political struggle between Tibet and China through heartbreakingly beautiful color archival film footage that document Tibetan Buddhist public rituals in the days before Chinese occupation from Tibet, as well as the exodus of the Tibetans from their homeland to India lead by the 15 year old Dalai Lama. The beauty of the land before, and devastation of the land after, Chinese occupation make this documentary extraordinarily compelling.
