Tibetans describe China as a cat trying to devour the Tibetan mouse.While the cat is stronger and better equipped for the fight, the wily mouse is nimble and has so far escaped the cat's clutches.
This film is an intimate portrayal of Tibetan resistance to the Chinese occupation. It contrasts the moderate approach of the Dalai Lama with that of the young rebels who employ more direct forms of protest. The Dalai Lama sees his best hope in quiet, persistent diplomacy and media support on an international level. The young, exiled radicals secretly cross the border to organize opposition in Tibet.
The Cat and The Mouse details the repressive forty-year occupation of Tibet by China and the human rights violations which has attempted to obliterate the religion and culture. Buddhist monks have been tortured and killed.It follows the dangerous exodus of young dissidents over the ice-covered mountains to refuge in Dharmsala, India.
