Reviews for Seven Years in Tibet
Review - Seven Years in Tibet
Mostly it just made me sad. An entire nation lost in superstition and celebrated for the very thing that dooms it.

| Notes: | Escaping from a British prisoner-of-war camp in India, the great Austrian climber headed for the mountains, Tibet, and freedom. It took him and a companion two years to make their way across the coutnry. Amazingly, he got all the way to Lhasa, where he befriended the young Dalai Lama and worked as his tutor until the Chinese invaded in 1950. |
