Becoming woman in Zanskar I SLICE I Full documentary

I am born in Lhasa Tibet , married in LEH LADAKH, I am a doctor and live in UK last many years. I strongly recommend this documentary for an international Award.. the filming of the documentary is unimaginable…this documentary made me think of the difference between lives in the different part of world. This is real life struggle. Thank you so much Slice…and the whole team….

Married (crying), unmarried (crying), this women’s life is struggle. My hurt almost shattered when she said “ when I don’t feel well to work, my husband and his parents get upset and I feel ashamed” 😢

The way the mother spoke about her wanting to become a nun in the beginning was a phenomenal example of good parenting. “She’s always wanted to become a nun, let her do it, if it isn’t for her she’ll find out”. These new age parents could learn a thing or two from her.

One of the most remarkable things about this to me is how expressive everyone is. There's little attempt to hide emotions or "keep a stiff upper lip": daughter cries, mother cries, father cries. Same with expressing their love. That's so different from many other cultures in the world.

choices of either being a nun or marrying an unknown person at 14 years old is heart wrenching. My depression has left the room.

This documentary deserves an AWARD!!

Choosing religion doesn't mean abandoning your parents. That line from monk is ❤

I hope Palkit has found her peace at the nunery and she’s happy with her decision. I hope Tenzin’s husband is caring, loving and respectful to her and she’s living a happy life. This documentary was so hard to watch because it’s so incredibly sad to see how little choices these poor girls have. I’m glad to see that they were loved by their families and I hope they’re living good and fulfilled lives now.

It is very impressive that mom donated her jewels to monastery. That means she fully accepted her daughters decision to become a nun. She doesnt hope for her daughter to give up, change her mind, return to home and get married. She supports her daughter with whole heart

my special thanks to the camera men who went on this journey to bring us this incrediable documentary

Tenzin crying at 37:07 as her hair is being washed for preparation as bride and Palkit smiling at 1:14:27 as her hair is being cut for preparation as nun shows us extreme constrast between the destiny of two friend. I am happy to watch Palkit being shaved but Tezin's hair being washed is gut wrenching

Woman in Zanskar.. Life of two young women (teens) who were friends and had different choices for them. Tenzin accepted her parents decision about her marriage and left them to start a family with the person who they chosen for her. Palkit fought her parents for her decision to become a Nun and left them to a distant Darmashala. The both young women are brave and growing strong to face their destiny. Life is an amazing journey and it is in our hands to celebrate it or to mourn it. Well done SLICE.. thank you for this wonderful documentation of the real people and their raw feelings.. amazing landscape.. super.

I thought my life was hard until I watched this, my heart goes out to all the women who are still going through this.

The filming of this was very sensitive. This life I think is thousands of years old. Beautiful souls and land, but such hardship.

I have never watched a more gripping, emotional, moving & interesting documentary. This reduced me to tears on so many occasions throughout. This documentary definitely deserves recognition & an award. And today in the free world of greed , self importance & technology, it beggars belief that these traditions have continued unabated for many thousands of years !!

I’ve never cried from a documentary before . This was absolutely breathtaking and I have no words to even express how beautiful their culture , their love for family , and how painful it was to watch their struggles .

I feel very humbled by this documentary … and embarrassed that I complain about my life .. in the west I have all freedoms , of who to love , how I earn my money , to work or not work .. and still not happy .. I watched this and I see things more clearly now … I need to start counting my blessings instead of being angry at life .. thank you x

Has this doc won any awards? This is beyond words. Whoever captured this the way they did needs recognition.

This documentary has changed my life! The strength and challenges of people in Tibet is awe inspiring. I'm a United States citizen with many luxuries that come with living in the West yet I watch this video and realize how much depth of life I have never experienced, a few ways being in regards to closeness with family and community and having a spiritual heritage. While all the varying religions across the globe surely each have limited perspectives in certain regards, and often people lack opportunities in many ways, I feel there is still much beauty to potentially be found in a spiritual path. I could understand wishing to be in the West if one is not in the West. Here in the West we also have many challenges and much poverty in many ways. For some it may be a challenge to endure the advertisements on Youtube. Without paying extra money we get further brainwashed by people of depraved perverted minds. This kind of suffering is still, largely self inflicted, though there are other forms of suffering here as well on many levels, feeling alone being very common here. I wish love for the Tibetian people and for all people. Thanks you to those who put this documentary together.

I feel very privileged. I can be single and should I decide to get marry, I can choose. Amazing documentary.
