"Wondrous... A perfect, and highly imaginative complement to Hoop Dreams... It seems certain to speak to millions.
Thank you for bringing this wondrous story to us all; to me it spoke for so many of the stories that come out of that region in different forms, but also told a much wider and more universal story about the kinds of sacrifice so many people have to go through, which we can barely imagine. It actually seemed to me to be a perfect, and highly imaginative, complement to Hoop Dreams, with many of the same themes and stories, told in equally human, wrenching (and riveting) ways. I so hope the film, when released, gets all the acclaim and exposure it deserves. It seems certain to speak to millions." -- Pico Iyer, author

"Beautiful, powerful, and heart-warming... I hope the film will bring much needed assistance to the noble Zanskari people.
'Journey From Zanskar' is a beautiful, powerful, and heart-warming film, that brings us close to the extraordinary lives of Zanskari lamas, villagers, parents and children. It takes us with them on their journey to preserve their culture, to improve the quality of their lives, and the lives of those around them, overcoming many extreme difficulties. I was very moved by the film and I heartily thank and congratulate Frederick Marx and his crew, Richard Gere, and the two Geshes who led the expedition. By helping a wide audience experience the trials of this delicate and fragile Tibetan community, somewhat lost, high in a dessicating mountain fastness, and squeezed between India, China, and Pakistan, I hope the film will bring much needed assistance to the noble Zanskari people." -- Robert Thurman, Founder, Tibet House, NYC |
