Narrated by Goldie Hawn and Peter Coyote, this film is about Nwawang Choephel, a Tibetan-born exile, who, on December 26, 1996, was sentenced to 18 years in prison by the Chinese authorities. Choephel was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to study ethnomusicology at Middlebury College, in Vermont. His research took him to Tibet to document and preserve traditional music and dance. In the midst of this research the Chinese authorities arrested him.

Reviews
BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
