Documentary

Tibet: Murder in the Snow
In an incident that shocked the world, a teenage Tibetan nun, Kelsang Namtso, was killed when Chinese border police opened fire on a group of pilgrims as they fled Tibet over the infamous Nangpa Pass. The shooting was witnessed by many international mountain climbers, some of whom videotaped or photographed the events and also helped rescue survivors and sent the story out to the world.

Using the original climber footage, reenactments and interviews with witnesses and survivors, Tibet: Murder in the Snow tells of young Tibetans who risk their lives each year to illegally cross the rugged Himalaya Mountains in an attempt to see their spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, or attend school in India. 360 Degree Films.

Tibet Lawsuits in Spain: An Introduction
Two Tibet lawsuits are currently underway in Spain under the principle of "universal jurisdiction," a doctrine that allows courts to reach beyond national borders in cases of torture, terrorism or war crimes. In a new written statement, the Chinese government has strongly rejected a judicial request for officials to testify in court in Madrid and demanded that the Spanish government block this ground-breaking investigation in the Spanish High Court on crimes against the Tibetan people. The two Tibet lawsuits are the result of years of dedication and relentless hard work by Jose Elias Esteve Molto, a Professor of International Law at the University of Valencia, and Alan Cantos of the Spanish Tibet Support Committee (CAT), a research scientist in oceanography for more than 15 years. ICT conducted this interview with Alan Cantos and Jose Elias Esteve Molto in April as an introduction to the significance of the cases. One of the witnesses, Kelsang, also speaks on this footage about giving evidence in Spain. (21:31)

Woeser: Voice of Tibet (ICT Panel Discussion)
Despite China's tight control over information flow within its society, a growing number of Tibetan literary elites are playing an important role writing, blogging and interacting with the Chinese populace, voicing their minds through stories, poems, and blogs. The focus of the discussion is Tsering Woeser, who is at the forefront of this movement, speaking, blogging and constantly challenging Chinese authorities, fighting hackers, arrests and detention. She remains unemployed, her blogs shut down, and her movements restricted but yet she has become one of Chinas greatest woman writers. Our panelists spoke of her life in context with this new movement of Tibetan literary elites and the struggles that they have to overcome everyday. ICT, October 2008 (01:05:01)
