Time Out New York: Movie review
Issue 671, 7-13 August 2008 - Drew Toal wrote: "Palden Gyatso, a Tibetan monk now living in India, was tortured in Chinese prisons for 33 years. And it wasn’t mere waterboarding: Gyatso once had a cattle prod stuck in his mouth, which quickly destroyed all of his teeth (a situation that could've been a problem if they had actually fed him real food). This short but powerful doc provides a human element and historical perspective for armchair protestors [sic] who probably couldn’t find Tibet on a map - but because Adam Yauch and other celebrities care about the issue, know only that 'they’re for it.'"

6 July 2008 - Daniel E. Slotnik describes the film and interviews director Makoto Sasa ("His story made me think my problem is nothing") and Producer Maura Moynihan ("He speaks for the dead, for the tortured, for the incarcerated, for the silenced").
