Tibet: Cry of the snow lion - Tom Peosay

Threat advisory: Under evaluation

Movie propaganda

Behind the secrets... Beyond your imagination... An unforgettable epic of courage and compassion.

Ten years in the making, this provocative documentary was filmed during journeys throughout Tibet, India and Nepal. This film brings an unprecedented richness of imagery, from rarely seen rituals in remote monasteries, to brothels and slums in the holy city of Lhasa, to magnificent Himalayan peaks still travelled by nomadic yak caravans. The dark secrets of Tibet's recent past are powerfully chronicled through riveting personal stories, interviews, and a collection of undercover and archival images never before assembled in one film.
