“"Free Tibet" may be a t-shirt catchphrase to some, but herein it's fleshed out as a lively sea of perspectives on the China-stamped region, the whole chorus pitched in a diplomatic key. Despite his billboard appearances, the Dalai Lama remains an alluring guru and this doc provides an edifying look at Tibet's now and and its all-important tomorrow.”
Jason Jude Chan, Flavorpill
Film Forum says:
The Sun Behind the Clouds updates the struggle for Tibetan independence, focusing upon the March 2008 demonstration against Chinese rule, the largest ever since the 1959 take-over of that nation. The Dalai Lama, living in exile in Northern India, is interviewed extensively and given the opportunity to explicate his “middle way,” a compromise position he has to date been unsuccessful in getting the Chinese to accept. Supporters of Tibetan independence who are devoted to the Dalai Lama, but who nonetheless feel “the middle way” is an ineffective solution, appear in the film, detailing their more militant position.
