Women of Tibet: A Quiet Revolution

For the first time on film, 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 oppose the violent Chinese occupation of their country. His Holiness the Dalai Lama pays tribute to these remarkable women in this inspired journey into the spiritual power of peaceful resistance.
