Documentary about Chinese occupied Tibet using interviews and some never-before-seen footage of life in Tibet under Chinese rule.

Ten years in the making, this award-winning documentary was filmed during nine remarkable journeys throughout Tibet, India and Nepal. Cry of the Snow Lion brings audiences to the long-forbidden rooftop of the world with an unprecedented richness of imagery. The dark secrets of Tibet's recent past are powerfully chronicled through riveting personal stories and interviews, and a collection of undercover and archival images never before assembled in one film.
