Customer Reviews of Biography - Dalai Lama: The Soul Of Tibet
Not great. Not bad, just not great. If you know nothing about Tibet, the brutal occupation of that country by the Chinese, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, then this is a good video. If you're a Buddhist, a student of Buddhism, or more conversant with the topics above, then it might not be for you. The documentary is an A&E production, so it tends to be, IMHO, a bit shallow and inaccurate at times. The Dalai Lama is not the "king" of Tibet nor does he preside over Tibetan Buddhism in the same manner that, say, the Pope does over Roman Catholics. There is some nice footage of His Holiness as a young man, including clips from his first years as a refugee in India. A few interviews with Richard Gere, Robert Thurman, Orville Schell and others round out the footage along with a few conversations with Dalai Lama. It is always a pleasure, however, to see the Dalai Lama so I did enjoy it in spite of the critiques above. It is not what I would consider an in-depth portrait but more like a good line drawing.
