In order for audiences to better appreciate the underpinnings of Buddhism and the risks involved with modern-day practice in Tibet, the man who made Vajra would've needed to get his documentarian's hands a little dirty.

Synopsis: The Buddhist community in Tibet forms the focus for this documentary, which eschews interview footage and instead relies on moving pictures and a soundtrack by local musicians to tell its tale.
Reviews for Vajra Sky Over Tibet
Vajra Sky Over Tibet demonstrates one alternative for moviemaking inside Tibet: the rhetorically inflated vacation video.
A well-photographed inside look at a fascinating culture and its people.
A gorgeous, meandering travelogue that only gradually bares its teeth.
[A]n illuminating meditation on that deepest of Buddhist philosophical concerns -- impermanence.
