Secret Tibet Audience Reviews

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Steineded How sad is this?
Listonixio Fresh and Exciting
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Writer_Mario_Biondi Did really Himmler only want measures of skulls, legs, hands, colors of eyes, descriptions of Shapis and Blue Tibetan Sheep, and so on? Did he really want to discover traces of the origins of the Aryan race in Tibet? In Tibet of all places? I will never believe it. He simply wanted to establish an alliance with that strange country and its ruler (the Dalai Lama's Government) to try and create a connection with the Japanese armies which were at that time ravaging China, and close British India in a mortal pincer. The Nazis Schäfer and Beger knew it perfectly well. That was their real mission. Nevertheless this documentary remains of extraordinary interest. Probably the first account of Tibet on film. Needs English subtitles, which is possible to find on the Web.
