Synopsis

The 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing provide the springboard for this reexamination of the ongoing China-Tibet conundrum, with leaders on both sides outlining the obstacles to harmony and the precarious state of Tibetan culture. In interviews with Tibetan residents, monks and officials in exile, both ordinary citizens and the ordained discuss the challenges of being practicing Buddhists, while scholar Melvyn Goldstein provides historical perspective.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 6

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
