Hollywood Reporter | Frank Scheck
“[A]n incisive portrait of a younger generation of Tibetan exiles who long to embrace their ethnic identity and raise their voices in political activism, even if it means traversing a catwalk or two along the way.”

Bust Magazine | Audrey Cerchiara
“Miss Tibet offers a unique roots-finding story that offers insight into the translation of tradition and cultural identity, a beautiful, but precarious balance.”

Tibetan Feminist Collective | Tenzin Pelkyi, Founding Member
“Highly recommend watching this for those interested in Tibet ‬&Tibetan Women.”

University of Colorado, Boulder | Carole McGranahan, Professor of Anthropology, Modern Tibet Studies
“Powerful and poignant. Miss Tibet: Beauty in Exile is a cultural coming of age story, a sensitive, uncompromising portrait of a young Tibetan-American beauty pageant contestant. A beautiful film, her journey is about much more than beauty. Instead, it is a tale of cultural identity, self-confidence, gender, and immigrant experiences in an ever-shrinking world. Perfect for community groups and classrooms, this thought-provoking, heartwarming film and its protagonist, the lovely Ms. Tenzin Khecheo, will delight and inspire audiences of all ages.”
