1:21:00
were so bad.
1:21:03
China was fragmented.
1:21:06
Society was crumbling.
1:21:09
There was a day
before the war...
1:21:12
when I came upon a man
with a dead baby.
1:21:17
He was gonna cook it.
1:21:20
He shouted, "It died.
I did not kill it. It died."
1:21:25
That is what it was like
in China before Chairman Mao.
1:21:29
[ Gasping ]
1:21:35
We believe that the time has come
for you to go to lndia.
1:21:39
India is our friend.
You'll be safe there.
1:21:44
The Americans will help us, Holiness.
You've read their letter.
1:21:47
That letter's unsigned.
It is not a real promise.
1:21:52
China is close.
America is far away.
1:21:56
Many Tibetans could die,
and China would still be close.
1:22:01
[ Clears Throat ]
lf you stay in Tibet,
1:22:04
we cannot guarantee
your safety, Holiness.
1:22:08
If you flee, Holiness,
you might never be able to return.
1:22:14
We've managed the Chinese
for many years.
1:22:17
These are not the Chinese we know,
Holiness. These are Communists.
1:22:21
The Fifth Dalai Lama joined
an alliance with the Chinese.
1:22:27
And a great spiritual revolution
began in the East.
1:22:33
A spiritual revolution?
Does it begin like this?
1:22:46
Friends, who is
the Fifth Dalai Lama now?
1:22:49
- [ Snaps ]
- Things change.
1:22:52
Our own short lifetimes
are not the only consideration.
1:22:57
My first and foremost duty
is to protect my people.
