Arrested by the Chinese army in 1959, Buddhist monk Palden Gyasto spent the next 30 years in prison, suffering all sorts of torture, privation, and humiliation because he demonstrated peacefully in Tibet under Chinese rule and because he refused to denounce his master as an Indian spy. After his daring escape across the eternal Himalayan snows to safety in Dharamsala, India, Gyatso now travels the world to promote the cause of independence for Tibet. Fire Under the Snow uses rare archive footage and the testimony of experts such as the Dalai Lama to recount the tragic events of an oppressed people. <%YOUTUBE=iovz2j_ckcs%>
