    Documentaries can be informative, entertaining and provocative, but rare is the documentary that makes you feel so engaged (and enraged) that it prompts you to action somehow. Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion is that kind of film.

    The most comprehensive and devastating documentary yet on that tragic country.

    More than worthy viewing. What it lacks at times in elegance it possesses in intensity and feeling.

    Rather than rage, Peosay's film radiates sadness over a singular way of life in danger of imminent obliteration.
