A Short History Of Tibet

A well-balanced, informative summary of the situation in China & Tibet. A well presented report that cleared up some of my questions on an issue that is often misunderstood. Thanks!

Why do people forget that no one in a communist country is free?

BTW this brought tears to my eyes. Why did this not get more attention, too old of a controversy?

Communist China seems to veil this in their big cities, but it's smoke and mirrors.

A good balance between being brief yet also very informative - very well produced and clearly presented, good stuff.

I've been looking for something like this for a long time - a short, sharp, highly informative look at what is obviously a very complex subject.

The Chinese have treated the Tibetans Horribly as well as their own. I wish every one could be treated fairly and hope one day they will be. But, don’t forget how horrible the Tibetans were treated before the Chinese, They were surfs and tortured. Hopefully the Dalai Lama does want to store actual peace to Tibet. I just hope the one thousand room Potala Palace and power over Tibet isn’t all he wants.

Very informative and clearly presented. Has helped educate me on a topic I knew little about.

Content and subject extremely interesting, good use of footage and graphics. Music creating good atmosphere and building up tension that respresents the conflict. Would have been interesting to have tibetens (sp??) talking too but presenter definatly kept audiences attention.
Would be interesting to develope.

well presented - concise and to the point. A really interesting mini clip which taught me a lot of things that i didn't know about the issues in Tibet.

Told me a lot new things about a place that we hear a lot about but know so little of. Thank you guys for a great mini doc.

Really well produced and balanced, good stuff! Couldn't agree with ijjyy009 more.

Informative and to the point. Well researched and thought provoking.

Galen - you talk about bias but I dont think you are being fair. The report goes to some length to be even handed. It does mention the serfdom in Tibet and the improvements since -attributing those comments to the Chinese government does not devalue the claim but allows people to judge the value of the comments for themselves.Who else are they meant to attribute it to? Or should they just give you their own opinion? It is the same as when they talk about the killings of up to a million Tibetans, the claim is clearly attributed to the Tibetan government in exile (and even bought into question). You may not agree with the piece but it is not fair to call it biased just because you do not agree with it whole heartedly. I suspect that to gain your support a report would have to be heavily weighed in favour of the Chinese - and that would not be fair to the Tibetan supporters. Not everyone will agree with everything but this seems to me to be a fair attempt to cover the history of a long troubled region in a short amount of time.

Well presented though - clear and easy to listen to.

This new reporting is extremely biased and does not at all attempt to hide it. While it hides the details of the Tibetan serfdom it makes sure the Chinese are show in the worst light possible. Hiding facts about the improvement of Tibetan life by stating they are only claims of the chinese government and showing video footage of Tibetan riots while talking about Chinese abuse. In those riots Tibetans attacked local Chinese store owners, killing many and destroying their livelihood. Then when deaths are tallied on the news about a riot no one explains that those deaths were Chinese citizens killed by Tibetans. Of course the government is going to crack down on that kind of violence.
