Stanley Baker presents his video of Tibet to residents of Place
Kensington.
Well-known Westmounter and world traveler Stanley Baker was the
special guest speaker last week at Place Kensington, where he led
residents on a virtual tour of one of the world's most remote and
mysterious regions =97 Tibet.
Much of Baker's first-person lecture was illustrated by a video he
shot during his visit to Tibet eight years ago.
He gave a brief history of the country, including the Chinese actions
of 1959, when the Dalai Lama fled and many Tibetans were killed or
became refugees. Now, he pointed out, Tibetans are a minority in their
own country, due to Chinese settlers. Baker mentioned that on public
signs in Tibet, the words in Chinese have to be twice the size of
those in Tibetan, something familiar to the current situation in
Quebec. This was seen in the video. He spoke about the Beijing
Olympics, problems for those torch carriers, the talk of boycott and
the actions of Chinese Canadians protesting the 'media bias' against
China.
