Hola, he entrado en la última apertura del registro y me interesa todo lo relacionado con el Tibet y el Himalaya.
Retomo el hilo por el tema de la pelicula de Patterson sobre la guerrila khampa. La película de George Patterson y Adrian Cowles se llama "Raid into Tibet". Es un documental de 3o minutos, que muestra el ataque de unos guerrilleros khampas a un convoy chino en 1964. La peli fue prohibida un tiempo y es una autentica rareza. Pienso que será muy difícil de conseguir, pero bastantes escenas de este documental aparecen en uno más moderno, dirigido por el hijo de un antiguo guerrillero khampa y su mujer. Su titulo es "The Shadow Circus: The CIA in Tibet" y es de 1998.

The Tibetan people are well known for being devoutly religious and peace loving. What is less known is that thousands of Tibetans took up arms against the invading forces of Communist China and waged a bitter and bloody guerrilla war. From the mid-1950s until 1969 they were aided in their efforts by an unlikely ally, the CIA. This project, code-named ST CIRCUS, was one of the CIA's longest running covert operations. The withdrawal of the CIA's support in 1969 was as abrupt as its initial involvement was unexpected: the Tibetans had simply fitted into America's larger policy of destabilising or overthrowing Communist regimes, and when that no longer applied, they were abandoned. With unique archive footage and exclusive interviews with former resistance fighters and surviving CIA operatives, The Shadow Circus: The CIA in Tibet reveals for the first time this hitherto unknown chapter in Tibet's recent history - a tale that is both heroic and tragic, full of sad ironies and unexpected twists that overturn all preconceptions about both Tibet and the CIA.
