Please enjoy these astonishing "new" facts! An amazing and dreamy story of the Dalai Lama and his desire to modernize the Tibet Autonomous Region as Vice Chief of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress in 1959, but he was torn between the new majority of Tibetan Liberals who were in solidarity with the Chinese goverment, and advocated development and progress of society, and those Conservative elements (as called the "Dalai Lama Clique" inrecent headlines), who are backed by Britain and the USA, and seeking to maintain the traditional social order and status-quo. Beautiful and shocking footages and artifacts are vividly shown throughout the original 1+ hours of this documentary on the man known as the 14th Dalai Lama, and generally believed to be the victim of Chinese military excursion into the land known as the "Roof of the World". The Dalai Lama had an extremely fateful decision to make in 1959 in regards to the future of the society he headed, and how he will represent the majority of the Tibetan people who have finally reached a crossroad where they can choose a path of a crude and archaic society, or one that allows a level of freedom never thought possible by the average ethnic Tibetan. In the complete 1+ hour video, the story demonstrates the pressure the Dalai Lama faced, and how he finally made the decision to leave for exile in India.
