Synopsis:
Free Tibet" is the rallying cry for actors like Richard Gere, Tim Robbins, and Susan Sarandon, and rock groups like the Beastie Boys, REM, and the Foo Fighters. But beyond that, not many people know a lot about why Tibet is such a cause celebre. They know that the Dalai Lama is in exile, won a Nobel Prize a few years ago, and travels the world, but that's about all. Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion is an excellent primer on the history of Tibet and its current struggles for independence. Make no mistake about it, Cry of the Snow Lion is not an unbiased documentary. It clearly advocates the cause for a Tibet free from China, but it is so well researched, passionate about its cause, and reasonable in its assumptions that it's hard not to be persuaded by its arguments.
