Becoming woman in Zanskar I SLICE I Full documentary

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” 😢

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….

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!!

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.

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

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

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

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 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 !!

Gosh I’m amazed. The World they live in feels like a fantasy world. Unreal. The Landscape, their architecture, their garments, their language.. It’s not like I’ve never read or heard of the Himalaya culture before..but I think this documentary just captures the unreal beauty of our humanity if that makes sense.

OMG I was crying with and for those girls and parents. Tenzin's husband and new family looked lovely. I was very relieved by this. Poor lassies. I'm glad we can decide our own fate .. at least if we make bad choices we've done it to ourselves!

2022 and again I've watched this together with my family, and they were stunned. They had felt the same way I felt when I watched it for the first time. They said that it's better than a movie. They've seen something that they knew never existed and realized something about life on the other side. This is still the best documentary I've seen so far and I would recommend it to every one. Worth watching over and over again.

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

"My heart has no words, only tears." The words of a father saying goodbye to most beloved daughter. I wept many times watching this. One of the most beautiful docs I've seen in years. So pleased I stumbled across this masterpiece.

Great documentary! Please do a part 2, we would love to see how these girls are doing. ❤

I am from Ladakh.. Thank you to the whole team of this documentary film.... I feel proud that I am born in Ladakh ,a place with rich in culture, traditional,good character etc .....#ladakhpeople
