Women of Tibet: A Quiet Revolution (57 min; dvd; English)

Director: Rosemary Rawcliffe

Three generations of Tibetan women and His Holiness the Dalai Lama tell the story of one of the greatest movements of non-violent resistance in modern history. In 1959, an estimated 15,000 unarmed Tibetan women took to the streets of Lhasa to oppose the violent Communist Chinese occupation of their country. The surviving exiled elders in Dharamsala are the last generation of women left to tell the story of the Tibetan women's uprising
