For some, Heinrich Harrer's apology simply isn't good enough. The Austrian mountaineer and onetime member of the Nazi Party, who in the '40s tutored the Dalai Lama and chronicled human-rights abuses in Tibet, is the subject of TriStar's October release "Seven Years in Tibet," starring Brad Pitt as Harrer. Because of Pitt's starring role and the growing interest in the Dalai Lama and Tibet around the world, TriStar believed it had a potential hit on its hands.
