An original Czech documentary Cesta vede do Tibetu [The Road Leads to Tibet] from the early 1950s has been screened in Prague. The award-winning film was screened in Czech cinemas until it was banned by the Communist authorities in 1956. The film shows Tibetans’ everyday lives as well as a meeting with HH the Dalai Lama, aged 19 and many places destroyed in the Chinese Cultural Revolution.
