Today I watched a documentary titled "Tibet: Cry of the SnowLion". I have to admit that I wasn't as informed as I should be on the history of Tibet. For this I am a bit ashamed. So today was the first step in trying to better understand the deep cultural and religious elements that have had such an international impact on our global society. Besides the 30 second news clips tied to protests over Beijing's hosting of the Olympic games, I hadn't heard much about Tibet in our Western media coverage. Watching this documentary was very enlightening. Of course, it also seemed to raise a few more questions as well. I guess that 's the sign of a good teaching tool.
Note to netflix members: This documentary is available to "watch instantly".
