The Bamboo Curtain Falls

This is the second part of a two part documentary that looks at the mysterious story of Tibet. It is the story about a country unseen by Europeans until early this century, of its destruction by invading Chinese in 1950, and the flight into India of the Dalai Lama with 100,000 Tibetans.
