The documentary film draws one’s attention to the non-violent campaign that is being waged against China’s invasion of Tibet, now over seven decades old. The extremely volatile history of the region is briefly presented to the viewer by way of an organization that works towards bringing the voices of students and youth activists to raise awareness about the issue.

The narrative further talks of the oppression of artists and the silencing of free speech, and inadvertently, thus works to amplify voices towards freedom of Tibet. Despite it all, hope for freedom, and a better tomorrow, must and should persist, and that becomes the overarching message that ties the entire narrative together. The end result uses bytes and stills, yet, it would be interesting to see how mood shoots can be employed in future endeavors to enhance the ambiance and, in turn, the impact of the message.
