I actually haven't seen it, but will now. Here on the 50th anniversary of the Dalai Lama fleeing Tibet, it would be a good thing to watch and think about.<br/><br/>We saw some amazing things, both inspiring and horrifying. I would hate to think how much things have changed in the twenty+ years since we were there. It can't have gotten better. Hey, thanks for the lead on the Tibet documentary.

After the film, I felt so silly for having not really understood the big fuss to FREE TIBET!

Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion(2003)

Ten years in the making, this feature-length documentary was filmed during nine remarkable journeys throughout Tibet, India and Nepal. Taking viewers to the long-forbidden “rooftop of the world” with an unprecedented richness of imagery, the film powerfully chronicles the dark secrets of Tibet’s recent past through interviews, personal stories and archival images. Martin Sheen narrates; Susan Sarandon and Ed Harris provide voice-overs.

That was a timely dose of Bob. How I miss him and how I would have loved to see him in action there in China. . .I think it just might have been the very most important time in his life. I say that because that's where he was at the very end of his life. Those last few days, he was in China - cursing and smiling and happy. xo Thanks Brad! That was a timely dose of Bob.

I first heard it from you years ago, when I was on my very first 10K run, having my doubts that I could run that far. I was beginning to feel like walking but then you told us of this and some other amazing experiences on your climbing trips. I was fully entertained and inspired. Definitely fun to read this story.
