I really enjoyed this movie and want to share it with you.  I suspect that sharing it will do more good than 'damage' to anyone ;-) so here it is.  It's an unusual and uplifting movie - how many movies have you seen that are Tibetan???

The subtitles are in English and although the plot seems deceptively simple, it isn't cheesy or simplistic and is definitely thought-provoking.  It's set in northern India, where the Tibetans have been in exile since the Chinese invaded their previously isolated country and many fled across the himalayan mountains and carried on their lives elsewhere.


From a commentary on IMBD:
==========================
Much of the Buddhist philosophy in this movie comes out once we have seen the entire picture. The characters within the film take their time in maturing. Most of the change we see within them occurs after the climax of the film. For instance, Orgyen Tobgyal, the child obsessed with football, was a very easily despised character right up until the last few minutes of the movie. He was obnoxious, self-centered, and thoughtless. It took the entire hour and a half for him to mature into a thinking and caring human being.

I forgot to mention this movie is in PAL format... Also PLEASE KEEP SEEDING for a few days after you download so that this turns into a fast torrent :-)
Thank You! I´m looking forward to seing this film.

Cover ... perchance?
hmmmm well, apart from the miniscule cover on IMDB, I'm afraid you got me there... But a quick Google Image search revealed this:

I like the second one better
Would anybody seed pleeeeease?
Please someone seed this, I will seed it back for a whole year.
felch could you seed this again for a bit? I will keep it alive. I am also keeping kekexili alive for more than a year or so, and if I am not mistaken thats the only copy of kekexili thats still active. I will do the same for this one if someone would just seed it for as long as it takes me to download it.
Watch this movie b4 & is a nice movie..BTW, the dl is really slow..Any seeders..?
With DHT and PEX, over two dozen of us stuck at 58.3% for two weeks. Any help available?
Two months and still stuck at 58.3%. Every now and then a seeder appears for a few minutes, but then disappears before any advance is made. New peers keep joining the swarm, so the interest is there.
