24.01.2022 Tibet activist Kyinzom Dhongdue and environmentalist Michael Buckley speak on one of the most pressing (and ignored) issues globally - Tibetan nomads and the paper parks of Tibet.

24.01.2022 The story of Dolkar and her nephew Wangchen is a powerful reminder of why we must speak up for the rights and freedoms of Tibetans. Tibetans inside Tibet are brutally punished if they dare to do so. "A Tibetan woman who was jailed last year for sharing the information of her nephews arrest has reportedly been released in poor health following harsh physical labor in Chinese prison."

Watch here https://vimeo.com/showcase/aquietrevolution "Three generations of Tibetan women and His Holiness the Dalai Lama tell the story of one of the great movements of nonviolent resistance in modern history. In 1959, an estimated 15,000 unarmed Tibetan women took to the streets of Lhasa to op...pose the violent Communist Chinese occupation of their country. The surviving exiled elders are the last generation of women left to tell the story of the Tibet Women's Uprising and transmit their cultural legacy. Having survived decades in prison and perilous escape across the Himalayas, they have become the architects and builders of the new Tibet in exile. His Holiness the Dalai Lama pays tribute to these remarkable women in this inspired journey into the spiritual impact of peaceful resistance after 50 years in exile.
