Dalai Lama. The Soul of Tibet

Description

From a childhood in "Shangri-La" to a life in exile, this episode of Biography presents the turbulent yet life-affirming journey of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Born Tenzin Gyatso, he is the 14th man recognized by his people as Buddha's reincarnation. Yet for a person so widely respected, the Dalai Lama has been forced to live in exile since 1959, after a failed rebellion against occupying Chinese forces caused him to flee his nation. Historic footage from the Dalai Lama's life and interviews with Chinese scholars, pro-Tibet activists, and His Holiness himself chronicle in great detail the struggle to free Tibet.
