Summary
The snow lion is a mythic beast of Tibetan legend. As a protector of the nation, the snow lion is emblazoned on the Tibetan flag, yet the Tibetan flag is outlawed in its own homeland. Ten years in the making and filmed during a remarkable nine journeys throughout Tibet, India and Nepal, this documentary chronicles the dark secrets of Tibet's recent past through riveting personal stories and interviews and a collection of undercover and archival images never before assembled in one film.
