For decades we've been lied to. Who, exactly, do the Tibetan people need to be freed from?

I'm a New Zealander who has been living in China for 10 years. One of the topics people always ask me about is Tibet, the western region of China that Western media has always told us has been subjugated by the Communist Party of China.

They say the Tibetan people are living lives of misery, and that life before, under the rule of the Dalai Lama, was like a utopia.

I traveled to the region to find out the truth, and it will turn everything you've ever heard about Tibet upside down. Are you ready?

Come with me.
