A reconstructed account of an Austrian mountain climber's escape from a British internment camp in India during World War II and his twenty-one-month journey through the Himalayas to safety in the forbidden city of Lhasa, where he befriended the young Dalai Lama and was allowed to photograph the breathtaking architecture, pageantry and populace of this remote paradise. Smuggled out of Tibet, Harrer's 16mm color footage is featured in this account and records the Dalai Lama's escape to India with the red Chinese army in hot pursuit.
