Synopsis
TIBET - CRY OF THE SNOW LION is a dramatic documentary that takes viewers through the astonishing recent political history of the country. Spending over ten years making the film, director Tom Peosay presents a clear, concise, educational chronology that tracks the major events and developments in the Tibet-China conflict both within those two countries and internationally. The film shows the beauty of the country's Himalaya Mountains, the artistry of Tibetan clothing and monasteries, the practices of the Buddhist religion, and the gentle spirit of the Tibetan people. But the most powerful part of the film includes archival news coverage, interviews with politicians and historians, and testimonials from survivors of torture and imprisonment. Woven together, these pieces tell the story of the immensely disturbing, violent ongoing struggle resulting from Tibet's occupation by China.The film does an excellent job with its material, and viewers will find themselves searching for a solution and an answer to Tibet's problems long after the movie's conclusion.

Customer Reviews

The Worse program I never seen!!
I looked other people's reviews before I bought this DVD,but I was really disappointing after I have watched this DVD..and I am not surprised only sale for £3.99...I rather have a cup coffee really.. anyway, don't wast your money and your time! You can not find the truth on Western medium or broadcaster today..Go to Tibet and ask Tibetan people there before you make your own judgement, you may get surprised.

A Labour Of Love
Mr Peosay's film is a labour of love.

As a record of the systematic, genocidal decimation and destruction of
a people, a country and a culture this project is peerless.

That successive governments, including our own continue to turn a blind
eye to the suffering of Tibet and her people is unforgivable.

In a year which sees China hosting the 29th Olympic games, that country's
appalling record of human rights abuse both inside and outside it's borders
is well known but largely ignored.

Economic trade agreements and cheap consumer goods are more important than people.

That this brave little film holds up a mirror to the plight of Tibet and the ongoing
persecution of those that would stand up for her freedoms is something that we should all applaud.

Many of the personal testimonies contained within are harrowing.

Courageous men and women share stories of barely believable horror.

The tone is unremittingly polemical and necessarily so.

Martin Sheen provides heavyweight credibility in the no-nonsense commentary.

The extras, including beautiful and moving imagery of a country and its'
people are exemplary.

Prof Robert Thurman provides insightful descriptions of Buddhist culture and beliefs.

His Holiness The Dalai Lama sets a benchmark for human values and behaviour.

Unforgettable.
