On Peace

There's a beautiful documentary called Women of Tibet: Gyalyum Chemo-The Great Mother airing around the country on PBS, first shown at Telluride Film Festival in 2006, the film has been on American Public Television since Mother's Day. Filmmaker Rosemary Rawcliffe explores archetypal energy and influence in a portrait of Dekyi Tsering, the 14th Dalai Lama's mother and The Great Mother of the Tibetan nation. Rosemary's second film in her Women of Tibet trilogy, Incense Broken--Country Lost chronicles the events of 1959 when more than 15,000 Tibetan Women joined together in an extraordinary peaceful uprising against the Chinese Communist forces. 47 years later in a world increasingly being torn asunder, it's worth reflecting on both the strength of the human spirit and the power peace has in bringing together an entire country in exile.
