Audience Member A very delightful tale of a secret message from the Dalai Lama delivered secretly and on videotape to followers within private homes. It is a touching reconnection between a man and the people who he leads who are separated by circumstances. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member A very touching documentary of the plight of the Tibetan people. Here they watch transfixed as they listen to a 5- minute message from the Dalai Lama, brought in to Tibet by an exiled Tibetan woman, on a portable player. The forbidden message is shown to nuns, monks, teenagers, prostitutes, families, all huddled around the small screen, and they all had the same reaction. They cried when they saw the Dalai Lama speak to them of hope and non-violence. It's a must see. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member The joys of socialist liberation Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member The amount of balls it must have taken to make this film is staggering though it also raises a lot of ethical questions on the part of the filmmakers as well. Incredible documentary. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Shows how deep the Tibetan people's respect for the Dalai Lama and his philosophy is, and is a good illustration of the silent resistance which Tibetans in Tibet take part in during their daily lives; something which isn't often covered. It would have been interesting to see how Kalsang Dolma got the video into Tibet and how she got the footage out; quite a dangerous thing to do for the people who took part. It's always a bit of a worry how people refer to the Dalai Lama having to come back during this life to save Tibet though; this is exactly what the Chinese Government want them to think so they can play their waiting game. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member A powerful documetary that (so far as I could tell from a 1993 visit, during which I was repeatedly struck by the courage of ordinary people striving to retain their culture, their identity, and their integrity) faithfully and accurately reflects the sentiments of most Tibetans. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
