"Through a fascinating and subtle interplay between sound and image the film
dramatizes the painful effects of Chinese Communist repression of Buddhist
beliefs in Tibet, and the determination of Buddhist monks to continue their
struggle despite torture and imprisonment. The exquisite photography, the slow.
methodical but deeply engaging editing rhythms, along with the inevitability of
change, make the film seem a perfect expression of Buddhist thought."

                                                            — Jurors, The San Francisco Film Festival

"SATYA addresses the spiritual consequences of Chinese rule by registering the
quiet outrage of teen-age nuns who have been forced by the Chinese to violate
their Buddhist vows.

Their strength is described with delicate obliqueness, in slow, blurred,
deliberate images that take on the quality of a sustained chant. Ms. Bruno
echoes Mr. Herzog's way of linking mood with meditation to travel well past the
bounds of ordinary communication."
