Top Critic preaches to the converted, but it preaches well and may serve to inspire more people to take action on behalf of Tibet

This incredible documentary, so excellently crafted, is both moving and informative.

A compelling story that it should not be missed. The photography of Tibet is as gorgeous as the footage and stories of Chinese atrocities are disturbing.
09/26/04
It is pretty convincing in its argument that China has every intention of destroying the culture of Tibetans.
09/17/04
As objective as any film on the subject can possibly be, Tibet was reportedly made over the course of a decade, sustained by a passion and dedication on the part of its makers that resonates in every frame of this gripping, heartbreaking odyssey.

Top Critic
If you've attended a Beastie Boys concert and picked up some free literature, chances are a substantial amount of this information is already known to you.

Top Critic Despite its undeniably moving, and enlightening, moments, the film eventually tips into pedagogy.
04/15/04
Makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of a people that the world must never be allowed to forget, no matter how much their oppressors would prefer us to do just that.

Top Critic
Top Critic As a film, the technique barely serves the well-intentioned motivation behind it: the exposure of unprincipled subjugation.
04/08/04
Peosay does a remarkably good job providing the historical and political context for the China-Tibet struggle, something that often seems missing from “Free Tibet” rhetoric.
03/18/04
A sobering examination of a land in turmoil and a people that have faced what former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Jeanne Kirkpatrick cites as 20 years of ethnic cleansing.
03/04/04
Top Critic So thorough is the cinematic journalism that you'll swiftly forget what a challenge it must have been to document or simulate all of the key moments in a story that spans thousands of years of history.
02/27/04
A colorful but grimly efficient documentary about a culture under siege.
