“Ten years in the making, this award-winning documentary was filmed during a remarkable nine journeys throughout Tibet, India and Nepal. CRY OF THE SNOW LION brings audiences to the long-forbidden “rooftop of the world” with an unprecedented richness of imagery… from rarely-seen rituals in remote monasteries, to horse races with Khamba warriors; from brothels and slums in the holy city of Lhasa, to the magnificent Himalayan peaks still traveled by nomadic yak caravans. The dark secrets of Tibet’s recent past are powerfully chronicled through riveting personal stories and interviews, and a collection of undercover and archival images never before assembled in one film. A definitive exploration of a legendary subject, TIBET: CRY OF THE SNOW LION is an epic story of courage and compassion. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00064MWJW/ecored-20 Buy this movie from Amazon.com using this link and you will collaborate with the environmental campaigns of EcoRED International (http://www.ecored.net)
Worth watching if only for the part where Fulford states [concerning Rockefeller]: “he was on my turf. I could have had him brought to me. Tied up with a vibrator up his ass..”
I used to think this guy was full of it but of late I’ve come around to him. He certainly makes me laugh. at least, and seems sincere. This presentation is not without humour.The information within is intriguing.
“During the war in Vietnam, thousands of people in the Vietnamese province of Cu Chi lived in an elaborate system of underground tunnels. Originally built in the time of the French, the tunnels were enlarged during the American presence. When the Americans began bombing the villages of Cu Chi, the survivors went underground where they remained for the duration of the war. The secret tunnels, which joined village to village and often passes beneath American bases, were not only fortifications for Viet Cong guerillas, but were also the center of community life. Hidden beneath the destroyed villages were schools and public spaces were hospitals where children were born and surgery was performed on casualties of war: underground were schools and public spaces where couples were married and private places where lovers met. There were even theaters where performers entertained with song and dance and traditional stories.
THE CU CHI TUNNELS, a Mickey Grant film, is the story of life underground told by the people who lived the experience. It is a story told by a surgeon, an artist, and actress, an engineer, and the few survivors of the guerilla band who left the tunnels each night to fight against an enemy of vastly superior strength. Attached to the guerilla bands were Viet Cong documentary cameramen and camerawomen whose footage of the war from the Vietnamese point of view and of love, life and death in the tunnels has survived and is used in the film. This extremely rare footage povides a fascinating kind of echo; we see and hear an actress perform in the wartime tunnels and then hear her describe the experience nearly thirty years later. ”
I’d always wanted to know about these tunnels since I was a child. I never dreamed they could be as complex and vast as they actually were. Incredible story, a moving and brilliant film.
“Produced and directed by Irish filmmaker and former BBC producer Jamie Doran, the film tells the story of thousands of prisoners who surrendered to the US military’s Afghan allies after the siege of Kunduz. According to the film, some three thousand of the prisoners were forced into sealed containers and loaded onto trucks for transport to Sheberghan prison. When the prisoners began shouting for air, U.S.-allied Afghan soldiers fired directly into the truck, killing many of them. The rest suffered through an appalling road trip lasting up to four days, so thirsty they clawed at the skin of their fellow prisoners as they licked perspiration and even drank blood from open wounds.”
“Mr. S.N. Goenka is rendering a great service to the entire humanity today by bringing back the pristine and pure technique of vipassana meditation that Lord Buddha followed himself to become fully enlightened and then taught to his disciples.
Mr. Goenka is a very eloquent scholar in his own right and his teaching technique is superb.
We sincerely feel confident that after you view this video you would seriously consider learning the vipassana meditation technique to bring in harmnoy and happiness in your life.”
The Introduction of Vipassana into Prisons. This beautiful documentary shows the incredible power that Vipassana meditation has upon even the most tormented minds. India appears to be leading the world forwards in showing the world how to truly hep people reform their minds for the better.
Stunning documentary. I’d really like to try this Vipassana for myself.
“In a World Opinion Forum TV, DVD and Google Video special from the United Nations, Kevin Sanders reports on world reaction to the failure of the last Review Conference of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), described as the most important meeting ever to take place at the UN. At the conference the US blocked discussion on renewal of earlier NPT agreements to de-alert and disarm nuclear weapons. The next NPT review conference will not be until 2010.”
