Growing up in the west (Europe), I never even once heard about serfdom and what kind of role it played in Tibet, prior to the Chinese Red Army liberation. Never once heard the perspective or stories from former serfs.

This documentary suddenly popped up in my YT feed.

It's quite astonishing thinking about it. How I've only ever been exposed to the "Free Tibet!"-crowd and their arguments, while never actually learning about (or hearing about) the actual material and living conditions of the serf population.

Even though this will clearly be called "CPC propaganda" or whatever, it's really refreshing to get another perspective and some nuance on the history of Tibet.

Great watch with some harrowing stories from former serfs. Really puts things into perspective.
