Documentaries on Tibet and Human Rights Violations: A Study

The European Union along with other member states such as Canada, France, Germany, Iceland, Japan, New Zealand, Poland, Switzerland, the US and the UK at the 30th session of the UNHRC in September 2015 condemned the mass arrest of Chinese Human Rights lawyers and directed the PRC to provide main reasons behind the instability. China has been for long criticised for forcibly occupying Tibet and exploiting the people and natural habitat. Human Rights issues like death of political prisoners due to torture and lack of medical care, failure of PRC to provide education, childhood mortality, forced sterilisation and maternal health in majority Tibetan areas, religious repression and Tibet’s right to Self Determination have been covered by several documentary filmmakers. The present study strives to analyze the documentaries made on the Human Rights issues in Tibet.
