- Synopsis:
The Snow Lion is a mythical beast of Tibetan legend. A protector of the nation, the Snow Lion is emblazoned on the Tibetan flag. Today, the Tibetan flag is outlawed in it's homeland. Ten years in the making, this award-winning feature-length documentary was filmed during nine journeys throughout Tibet, India and Nepal. Cry Of The Snow Lionis brings audiences to the long-forbidden "rooftop of the world" with an unprecedented richness of imagery... from rarely-seen rituals in remote monasteries, to horse races with Khamba warriors; from brothels and slums in the holy city of Lhasa, to magnificent Himalayan peaks still traveled by nomadic yak caravans. The dark secrets of Tibet's recent past are powerfully chronicled through personal stories and interviews, and a collection of undercover and archival images never before assembled in one film. A definitive exploration of a legendary subject, Cry Of The Snow Lionis an epic story of courage and compassion. - Actors:
