COMMUNITY RATING




The Dalai Lama, living in exile in Northern India, is interviewed extensively during this turbulent period and given the opportunity to explicate his “Middle Way Approach,” a compromise position essentially giving up the goal of Tibet’s independence in exchange for cultural and social autonomy. To date he has been unsuccessful in getting the Chinese to accept this proposal. A younger generation of Tibetans who are devoted to the Dalai Lama, but who nonetheless feel his solution is ineffective, appear in the film, detailing their more militant position. This is the first film to show the Dalai Lama addressing the political complexity of this issue, both in his homeland and within the exile community.
