"1987 Protest Changed My Path forever": Prof. Robbie Barnett on Witnessing 1987 Lhasa Uprising
In 1987, 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐑𝐨𝐛𝐛𝐢𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐭 traveled to Tibet to find peace after losing his father. He had NO IDEA about politics. NO AGENDA. Just a grieving man 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞.
Then on October 1st, he walked into the square in front of the 𝐉𝐨𝐤𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 and found himself in the middle of a PROTEST that would CHANGE his life forever.
Monks beaten. Gunshots fired. People killed.
That one day turned a British theatre artist into one of the most important voices on modern Tibet.
