The movie Seven Years in Tibet is being streamed on Netflix leading to speculation that this could signal the end of China’s efforts to influence and censor Hollywood movies. On its release in 1997 the film was banned in China, as was its star, Brad Pitt. The last two pro-Tibet films, Kundun and Seven Years in Tibet, both Disney films, led to a one year ban on Disney in China.
