In October of 2007 I spend some time in Dharamsala, India. Dharamsala is the seat of the Tibetan people in exile, and the home of his holiness, the Dalai Lama. While I was there, I shot some video so I could share some of what I experienced there. In particular, I did an interview with Yung Sum, a Member of the Tibetan Youth Congress. We discussed China's interference in Tibetan spiritual issues, such as the succession of Tibetan Lamas through reincarnation. We also discussed how non-Tibetan people might support the religious and cultural freedom of the Tibetan people. This includes the boycotting of the Beijing Olympic games.
