bloody challenge to Chinese rule in nearly 20 years, Dispatches reports
on the hidden reality of life under Chinese occupation.
As Tibetan protesters take to the streets in the biggest and most
bloody challenge to Chinese rule in nearly 20 years, Dispatches reports
on the hidden reality of life under Chinese occupation after spending
three months undercover, deep inside the region. Dozens are feared dead
after the recent clashes and crackdown by Chinese troops, but with
reporting so rigidly controlled from the region little is known of
living conditions inside Tibet.
To make this film, Tibetan exile Tash Despa returns to the homeland he
risked his life to escape 11 years ago, to carry out secret filming
with award-winning, Bafta-nominated director Jezza Neumann (Dispatches
Special: China's Stolen Children). Risking imprisonment and
deportation, he uncovers evidence of the "cultural genocide" described
by the Dalai Lama.
He finds the nomadic way of life being forcefully wiped out as native
Tibetans are stripped of their land and livestock and are being
resettled in concrete camps. Tibet reveals the regime of terror which
dominates daily life and makes freedom of expression impossible. Tash
meets victims of arbitrary arrests, detention, torture and
"disappearances" and uncovers evidence of enforced sterilizations on
ethnic Tibetan women.
He sees for himself the impact of the enormous military and police
presence in the region, and the hunger and hardship being endured by
many Tibetans, and hears warnings of the uprising taking place across
the provinces now.
