Tibet’s Moment
It’s the night before the highly anticipated Olympic torch relay in San Francisco, and I am watching a training session for protesters led by Students for a Free Tibet, the group who scaled the Golden Gate Bridge to unfurl two banners the day before. A stream of young Tibetans files into the back of a Berkeley church until the room is filled. Lhadon Tethong, the executive director of the organization, arrives with a caravan of weary protesters who had attended a candlelight vigil in San Francisco. Alison Satake (’09) and Charlotte Buchen (’07) write and produce two video dispatches for PBS FRONTLINE/World on the Beijing Olympic torch relay in San Francisco and the new Tibetan youth movement.
