The Human Torches of Tibet: BBC Our World documentary

As part of the BBC's Our World documentary series, The Human Torches of Tibet looks at the recent self-immolations and protests in Tibet and their impact on the Tibetan exiled community. BBC correspondent Sue Lloyd-Roberts asks the Dalai Lama for his views on the current situation in Tibet and questions whether the policy of non-violence is still viable. There are also interviews with the Kalon Tripa Lobsang Sangay, witnesses to self-immolations who have recently escaped from Tibet, and members of the exiled community. First broadcast on BBC World and BBC News channels 25-27 May 2012.
