Critic Reviews

Aaron Hillis

Make no mistake about his ability to make social studies entertaining: A montage about Tibet's many supporters is set to the Beastie Boys playing "Sabotage" live. Read full review

Peter Debruge

Though the movie is a testimony to one man's will to survive and a testament to a vanishing art form, Tibet in Song's greatest achievement may be the way it shows how China recast traditional songs as modern pro-Communist propaganda-an eradication of an invaded country's culture through insidious co-option.
