Red River Valley

1996, Color, 120 mins / in Mandarin with English subtitles

A simple country girl while being sacrificed to a river god is rescued by her brother. They narrowly escape death and are separated after falling into the river. The girl is taken in by an old Tibetan woman. She begins her new life as Snow Dawa and becomes romantically involved with the old woman's son. One day, while playing in the mountains they rescue two British men buried under the snow. One remains in the valley due to illness and finds the kindness, hospitality and purity in the nature of the Tibetans overwhelming. The other is preparing to return to Tibet at the head of the British army for the invasion of Tibet in 1904. The film was shot on location in Tibet and contains some incredibly beautiful scenes of the Himalayas.
