Team Tibet

Richard Edkins | 25.03.2008 05:08 | Analysis | Culture | Repression | World

“Team Tibet” is a short documentary film which follows a group of Tibetans living in exile in India, who want Tibet to be able to take part in the 2008 Olympics.

Filmed August 2007 in McLeod Ganj and Delhi, it asks: Why did they flee Tibet? What is the situation in Tibet under Chinese occupation? What are their hopes for the future of their country, people and cultures? And What about the 2008 games?

I am reposting these links to my film 'Team Tibet' in light of recent events, during the run up to the controversial Beijing 2008 Olympic games.

The film gives some background and insight to the Tibetan struggle fom the perspective of Tibetans living in exile in India.

What I see as significant is that a lot of Political Shits are supporting the Tibetan demonstrations demanding independence. The reason I call them Shits is that they are active in supressing the Welsh Nation in the UK. and the Basques in Spain, etc etc.

Perhaps I should have been polite and called them hypocritical liars.

Please explain yourself a bit more clearly.what are you saying ? Who are the people you are talking about ?

Whatever the arguments for Basque Seperatism or Welsh independence the level of oppression experienced today by the Burmese,Tibetan,Uighur,and Palestinian peoples would appear to be far greater.
