State of Control

This documentary follows two American filmmakers as they navigate the tense political landscape of China and Tibet. Their journey begins in regions of Tibetan activism, moving into the most restricted areas of Tibet during a media blackout that began in 2008.

The filmmakers aim to connect with Tibetan activists who are risking their lives to protest against governmental oppression. However, their mission becomes increasingly perilous as they face constant surveillance from secret police. The filmmakers are forced to turn the cameras on themselves, capturing their own experiences of being followed and targeted.

The film reveals the lengths to which these activists go to voice their dissent, highlighting the dangers they face in a region largely kept in the dark. This documentary offers a raw and intimate look at the struggle for human rights in Tibet, making it a compelling watch for those interested in activism and global issues.
