Tibet - Cry of the Snow Lion
- Synopsis
- A dramatic documentary that looks at the astonishing recent political history of Tibet. Spending over ten years making the film, director Tom Peosay presents a 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.
