Kia Ora,
::) Some[Buddhist and non Buddhist alike] might find this interesting, it's a BBC Documentary on Tibet, some of it shows Tibet before the Chinese invasion[the early 1930s/40s], there's also some footage of the "young" Dalai Lama and his parents...It runs for around an hour and twenty minutes, so grab a tea or coffee and some popcorn and make yourself comfortable as you begin a journey into the past...Enjoy...

PS Don't worry about the Spanish subtitles it's in English...
Metta Zenda :)
