A Year in Tibet: Life and Survival in an Ultra Remote Town | Full Series | Free Documentary
World's Toughest Lives - Stories from the Hidden Worlds: youtu.be/7up6T4FLmzc
Isolated in the midst of the world's highest mountain ranges, Tibet is one of the most remote, least accessible places on the planet. Bold, compelling, and with unprecedented filming access, this series opens a window into the Tibetan town of Gyantse and its beautiful Baijin monastery. It is a town of two halves: part jumble of tiny streets with traditional wooden houses, part modern commercial center - an intriguing mix of ancient and modern. Through a handful of powerful and engaging characters, follow the reality of daily life for ordinary people living in an extraordinary place - one of the most mysterious and secretive communities in the world. From the hotelier struggling to attract more tourists, to the village shaman who is worried that the rain cannon will put him out of business because the farmers no longer need him to placate the gods, this is a series that fascinates on both a human and emotional level.
00:00:00 The Visit
The Panchen Lama, the highest-ranking Buddhist living in Tibet today, pays an unexpected visit to the local monastery and throws the monks into turmoil. A local hotel owner is worried about the lack of business. In the nearby village of Tangmai, a young farmer's wife is rushed to hospital with complications with her pregnancy.
00:51:07 Three Husbands and a Wedding
It's autumn and everyone is pulling together to get in the harvest, as Dundan worries about hailstones flattening his crops. The local government has installed guns to disperse the clouds and this has put the shaman Tseden, who used to protect the fields with spells, out of a job. Tseden is also helping a local family to arrange their daughter's wedding.
01:41:51 Faith, Hope, and Charity
The monks begin preparations for New Year, one of Tibet's biggest festivals. Lhakpa, a local rickshaw driver, struggles to earn money as winter approaches. He embarks on a scheme to buy and sell puppies, with disastrous consequences. Hotel owner Jianzang gets involved in a court case which has a surprising outcome. In Tangmai, the doctor cannot cure Lhamo's crippling stomach pains.
02:33:00 Monks Behaving Badly
In the Pel Kor monastery, the director Choephel discovers that some irreplaceable statues have been stolen and the theft gives the local Communist Party an excuse to put in a government 'work team' to weed out monks they think are behaving badly. Lhakpa heads north in search of a lucrative job on a building site, and Butri gets an unpleasant surprise as she approaches her retirement.
03:23:47 A Tale of Three Monks
Deputy head lama Tsultrim has to juggle running the monastery whilst complying with a myriad of government restrictions. Young monk Tsephun lives and works with his master Dondrup, a curmudgeonly old lama. Tsephun helps his master with the day-to-day jobs of cleaning and tidying; in return, Dondrup teaches Tsephun the sutras and scriptures, an essential part of becoming a monk.
