Overview
After five years of work, Chen Zhen of CCTV has made the first feature length documentary about the Potala Palace, a film that reveals the long history and the splendid culture of the Tibetan heritage. Chen provides us with a rare chance to get to know more about Tibet and to reflect upon the important issues -- more specifically, the director offers us a chance to really think about how to appreciate our historical and cultural achievements and the relationship between the past, today's present reality, and future developments in society. The film is told through the eyes of someone who entered the Potala at the age of 13 and has lived there for 60 years, experiencing personally the rise and fall of its fortunes during this long period.
