Full Plot Details

Karma, a young Tibetan woman from New York City comes to Dharamsala, the exile headquarters of the Dalai Lama in India, in search of her roots. She is making a documentary film about former political prisoners who have escaped Tibet. One of her interviewees is Dhondup, who has recently fled to India. He reveals to her that his dying mother had made him promise to deliver an old charm box to an exile Tibetan named Loga, and appeals to her for help in locating the man. Their enquiries reveal that Loga, a former CIA-trained resistance fighter, has been missing for the past fifteen years and is presumed to be dead. But is he really dead? As they set out to unravel the mysterious circumstances of his disappearance, Karma finds herself unwittingly attracted to Dhondup even as she is sucked into the vortex of his search, which takes them through the world of the exile Tibetan community in India and becomes a journey of self-discovery.

Movie Reviews

NewsBlaze - 10/10 by Kam WilliamsThis surprisingly-engaging, semi-autobiographical docudrama must have served as sojourn of self-discovery for the moviemaker, though it now offers his audience a refreshingly realistic peek into the plight of a displaced people.
Oregonian - 9/10 by Marc MohanRather than offer more information or documentation, the film uses a fictional framework to explore the human-scale effects of exile on those Tibetans who've escaped their homeland.
Seattle Times - 9/10 by John HartlWhenever the filmmakers stray from Dhondup's story (and the tales of other refugees), they tend to lose their way.
Compuserve - 9/10 by Harvey S. KartenStilted acting and dialogue, but Tibet has hardly a film industry: we should be glad this picture about identity crisis has come our way.
Variety - 8/10 by Robert KoehlerA sensitive if literal-minded tale that demonstrates how Tibet's national identity is of a piece with its spiritual heart.
Boxoffice Magazine - 6/10 by Mark KeizerAs political statements go, Dreaming Lhasa is gentle, well-meaning and produced 10 years too late and three drafts too soon.
Film Threat - 6/10 by Phil HallIt is among the dullest and least confident movies to unspool this year.
Boston Globe - 6/10 by Ty BurrIt's a Tibetan film -- a rare thing -- made by Tibetans, starring Tibetans, and set in the increasingly desperate exile community of Dharamsala .
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 5/10 by Bill WhiteThe script is undone by confusing romantic developments, a convoluted murder mystery and a facile and maudlin resolution.
The Hollywood Reporter - 5/10 by Frank ScheckA static and awkward effort that never quite comes to life.
