“Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion”

Alpine and foreign cultures (), Tom Peosay (USA) 104 min

The film brings audiences to the long-forbidden “rooftop of the world” with an unprecedented richness of imagery… from rarely-seen rituals in remote monasteries, to horse races with Khamba warriors; from brothels and slums in the holy city of Lhasa, to the magnificent Himalayan peaks still travelled by nomadic yak caravans. The dark secrets of Tibet´s recent past are powerfully chronicled through riveting personal stories and interviews never before assembled in one film.
