Set In Northern Tibet, this film is a gritty and realistic story of communities facing a life under an oppressive government. Whilst the family is leading a very simple life, the young girl of the family seeks solace with the local community of Nuns. The young girl risks her safety and life by trying to escape over the nearby mountains to India, with a group of nuns, where she believes life will be safer and offer more of a happy life. This film really moved me, particularly in its' frank description of the way these Tibet residents could be treated by the Authorities. The conclusion left me hoping that things would be better for them in the future.

Outstanding television Drama, with both lead actresses showing the joy and pain of childhood and teenage years with just the right amount of emotion. Brings to life suburban Italy in a totally realistic manner, with the two leads giving terrific performances. Totally involving and moving. An absolute delight to watch.

Stargate Atlantis, still being shown on the SC-FI channel here in Australia, has been consistently of excellent quality through all five seasons.

Particularly enjoyed the interplay between the characters, such as Ronan and Rodney, and the action scenes were gripping and exciting.
