TIBET'S STOLEN CHILD

This documentary by Robin Garthwait explores the Chinese government's kid-napping of the boy named as the Panchen Lama for the Tibetan Buddhists. Narrated by Patrick Stewart, it focuses on the fate of Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, who was six-years-old when the Dalai Lama identified him as the 11th Panchen Lama. The Chinese government kid-napped the child and his family and selected another child as their Pachen Lama of choice. Repeated requests by international human rights organizations for access to the child and his family have been ignored. Includes interviews with five Nobel Peace Laureates: Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa, Holocaust survivor and historian Elie Wiesel, Jose Ramos-Horta of East Timor, John Hume and Mairead Maguire of Northern Ireland, and the Dalai Lama of Tibet. In focusing on the suppression of religious freedom in Tibet and the egregious abduction of a child designated to become a religious leader, "Tibet's Stolen Child" shows that the betrayal of human rights against one people is a blot against civilization as a whole. Ages 12 - 15. Garthwait & Griffin Films.
