Tibet's Stolen Child
"Tibet's Stolen Child" is a documentary film on the Panchen Lama.
A young boy, the Panchen Lama, is the center of a swirling storm of international controversy. Identified by the Dalai Lama as one of Tibet's most important spiritual leaders, this child was kidnapped by the Chinese government just days after the Dalai Lama's announcement.
A 60 minute documentary by Garthwait & Griffin Films, Inc. and the International Campaign for Tibet, "Tibet's Stolen Child" shows how this is not only a story of Tibet and a small boy... it is a story of the world. Six Nobel Peace Laureates (His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu, Jose Ramos-Horta, Elie Wiesel, John Hume, and Mairead Maguire) and other moral and religious leaders from around the world examine this abduction. They share their own experience of intolerance and draw similarities to the current situation in Tibet. They discuss what happens when governments use persecution as a weapon. Set within a framework of the rights of children, comparative religion, social justice and peace studies, "Tibet's Stolen Child" poses questions of basic humanity and its place within a world dominated by politics and economics.
