Synopsis
When The Dragon Swallowed The Sun reveals for the first time the struggle of a young Tibetan King who is expected to continue a 1400 year old lineage while the Tibetan freedom movement is on the verge of failure. It is a ground breaking documentary that takes a closer look at the internal conflicts and the contradictions within the Tibetan movement. It exposes the uncomfortable truth that the Chinese government is only part of the reason why Tibet has not regained its independence. The combination of award winning HD footage from India, China, Tibet and the US along with an original soundtrack by Philip Glass, Thom Yorke and Damien Rice make this the first film that presents the complexity of the struggle with such emotional impact.
