BuzzFlash.com's Review (excerpt)
We would recommend "Tibet-Cry of the Snow Lion" for the exotic images of the nation and its culture itself: the mountains, the clothes, the costumes, the people, the monasteries. We can go on and on, but this is a technically dazzling film in terms of vibrant colors and landscape.
But that's only the secondary reason to watch "Cry of the Snow Lion." This is a profoundly political film. It details the brutal, genocidal actions of the Chinese government against this peaceful Buddhist nation and its tradition of monastic study and contemplation. What is more galling is that the Western world, including "Mr. Faux Democracy" himself, George W. Bush, are more interested in China's financial trade than in freeing Tibet from its suppression by Beijing.

"A passionate, well-made documentary."
-- Seattle Post-Intelligencer
"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."
-- San Francisco Chronicle
"Historical footage charts Tibet's encounter with its Communist neighbor, but the doc also provides a National Geographic kind of pleasure."
-- Village Voice
