Former serfs tell the horrifying serfdom history in Tibet in this documentary

 

"Hey guys, just want to share with you a documentary that I watched these days.

This documentary interviewed several surviving serfs who were born as serfs to serve the "nobles" in Tibet. Not only they didn't have any freedom, suffered inhuman treatment, they weren't even considered human by the "upper class" before the peaceful liberation.

It also reveals the true archive history footage of Tibet. Through those black and white footage, you can also get a glimpse of what the life was like for the majority of the people in Tibet.

Hope this documentary will help you to understand the true history of Tibet too."

Li Jingjing (Journalist & Political commentator).
