I am related to Heindrich Harrer and I thought that this movie was great. I disagree that young teens won't be interested. It was an interesting movie because it let you know how things are in Tibet-plus I got to learn about my family's history. This is a great movie and I recommend it to everyone.

What Parents Need to Know
About Seven Years In Tibet
Parents need to know that unless their kids are fixated on Brad Pitt, the subject matter may not hold the interest of young teens. Based on one man's spiritual journey, it tells the true story of a mountaineer's experience in Tibet as it is occupied by Chinese Communists in the 1950s. The beginning of the movie shows some scenes of World War II combat, and there are images of Nazi propaganda.
