Netflix Movie: Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion

Watched a documentary from Netflix last night, late. Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion. This is a real David and Goliath story where Goliath (China) has really changed David (Tibet) almost to the point of making David invisible. Kinda reminds me of Vietnam and its thousand year battle with foreign countries. Though, at the moment, looks like Tibet is in no position to win its battle with China. Worth the viewing.

From a review at the Netflix link:

Treating the audience to a political, cultural, geographical, religious essence of a most fascinating people. Here's the crux of the movie... If you watch with an open mind and heart, you will get a glimpse of a nation of people who believe in the Dali Lama with all of their heart and soul, and would sacrifice everything for him. They believe in a world of peace, tolerance and unconditional love. How sad is it that that sounds so far fetched in our day and age? Tibet is in such bad straights today because they believe in non-violence and weren’t prepared to defend themselves (the movie doesn’t explain this predicament well enough or the events that led up to it). It’s a self inflicted wound. Ultimately, they trusted that the United Nations would be there to support them but it never happened. Now China is on a course to wipe these people off the face of the earth without any intervention. With all of the controversy about Iraq these days, I think it speaks reams about why the way the world is today. We have world organizations that stand by and watch genocide take place, and do nothing. The movie is extremely important and well worth your time.
