TibetanPhotoProject A few years back National Geographic did an article on Tibet without any mention of China's brutal actions and the ongoing destruction of Tibetan culture by the Chinese.. I fear that this sort of "journalism" or "Documentary" film making is more about the journalist or film maker protecting their access than it is about telling the the very sad truth about Tibet. Please look for our effort from Tibetans: tibetanphotoproject dot com 3 months ago

Walt Dear Charlie: Everything I know about you makes me admire you and your selfless interest in doing good in the world, but this little film about the "Tibetan Autonomous Region" of China seems to have been made while ignoring the elephant in the room, the fact that in 1950 Tibet, then an independant nation, was invaded, conquered, and found it's people killed by the millions, it's monasteries bombed, and slowly, as the years passed, Tibetans found themselves a minority in their own land from unwanted Chinese immigration. Tibet's natural resources, including gold and uranimum, are expropriated by China as well. Lhasa may have BEEN the spiritual heart of the world, sadly, that heart now resides in India, at Dharmsala, in the care of Tibetan refugees and the Dalai Lama, the most prominent of those refugees, and in centers of Tibetan culture all over the world, including the USA. As a Buddhist, only compassion I know can heal the wounds, but please Charlie, don't ignore the wounds as you did here. Walter Price III last year

Now, I really appreciate the positive part of this movie. But I don`t understand about what "balance" he talks. Tibetian people still struggle, internet cafe`s is a way to broaden the vision or communicate, but it is also away to forget the culture that were always there. While the most famous monk of tibet still can`t come back, can`t give freedom to Tibet... i really believe that we can`t make such positive films about tibets. Making it a place for tourists? I also think it is not great idea. How can we come and see - Oh! Look, it`s a palace of compassion. How great it is. But pitty, that tibetan`s can`t practice their views freely now. Let`s see some other spot... this movie makes me sad. 2 years ago

had the pleasure of seeing the work of this great team at the Maui Film Festival...very educating, very much human interest stories. I would love to join this team! God Bless them in all their endeavors, journeys, and shedding light on this seemingly, at times, dark planet...let us learn to love each other and grow in appreciation of all life here. It's imperative that we do. Thank You! 3 years ago

i had met a monk while i was walking over Himalyas and i got to know that he has a mail account, this was thing they surprised me at first place. As video says cell phones are common among city dweller monks. They are exceptional people but the world know very little about them. 3 years ago
