00:00This is the story of a Buddhist monk and nun who struggled to find a way beyond fear.
00:22The achievement of Tibet as this extraordinary experiment was unprecedented, unthinkable.
00:29That a society could be based on creating bodhisattvas, good people, compassionate and
00:35wise people.
00:36Clearly, it's the only way we can live on this planet.
00:39We've tried the other things and they don't work.
00:41To subjugate the population, China closed off communication to the outside world and
00:47initiated a policy of terror that has killed more than one million of Tibet's six million
00:53citizens.
00:55Torture and execution continue to this day.
00:59I decided to demonstrate with my 13 friends in 1990, we showed the independent Tibet and
01:09the lonely Dalai Lama.
01:12They said, what did you show before?
01:15And I didn't say anything, then he beat me, then I said, okay, I showed independent Tibet
01:20and the lonely Dalai Lama.
01:22I'm 13 years old, they put me in the jail for nine months.
01:27But we're doing the peaceful celebration, we're not doing anything bad.
01:30Later, Chinese police shooting, I saw many 10 years old, 11 years old monk, they push
01:39those monk.
01:42The monk's eye coming out, the soldiers in the window shooting.
01:47I saw very close one Tibetan young girl, she shoot her heart.
01:51Some Tibetan woman give baby milk, they shoot baby, shoot mother.
