“AN OSCAR-QUALITY FILM”
trishthompsonasia | 1 July 2020
“Beautiful and moving film of historical significance. At 85, HHDL is sharp and witty and wise. The filmmakers did their research. With the exception of a couple of shots, the foot- age is new to even the most avid followers of His Holiness, and includes fresh images, as well as fresh information regarding Potala Palace intrigue and the early years before being forced to escape Tibet. This is a film to watch again and again.”

“ELEGANT FILM RICH IN HISTORY AND CHARACTER”
jan-19140 | 1 July 2020
“Can’t say enough good about this film. I have heard HH Dalai Lama tell his story and seen other movies about his life. This one told in his own words elegantly juxtaposes his history with film and photographs of the events. It differs from previous films by his narration from the perspective of his now 80+ years. I know of no one who has lived a life of such great honesty and integrity. The film is a true inspiration to all to live a life of compassion and wisdom.”

“WATCHED IT ONCE THEN WATCHED IT AGAIN”
thecoronas-84071 | 1 July 2020
“So well done. Some footage I’ve never seen, brilliantly included into the narrative. His Holiness telling his own story including some incredible dreams….one yet to come true! May it come true and may His Holiness live a very long and healthy life!! Perhaps you could add Chinese subtitles – it could be very helpful for Chinese viewers. Many thanks for making this film.”

“A MEDICINE THE WORLD NEEDS NOW”
lisa-77451 | 1 July 2020
“What a beautiful film! The message of His Holiness the Dalai Lama is a medicine the world so desperately needs now. The message of compassion and love so elegantly simple, yet with a profound ability to change the chaotic trajectory we are on. Can we hold his words in our hearts and remember what it truly means to be human?”
