A Cathartic Journey
Zhang Zhehan tells his story through snapshots of the people he meets and of the natural wonders he sees on the journey to Lhasa.The result is a documentary full of warmth and happy discoveries, with an undertone of the director's struggle to embody that joy himself as he used to. And what perhaps matters the most when discussing topics such as mental health and healing, Zhang doesn't portray the story as a cookie-cutter, happy ending fairytale.
Throughout, the documentary is visually gorgeous. The power of nature is shown in full, and so are the hopes, dreams and daily life of the people encountered on the way. There is no artificial dramatization of the events or emotions, and no attempt to turn human experience into a consumable.
Zhang Zhehan lets the genuine happiness, confusion and love of the journey speak for themselves, all the while carefully listening to them himself.

Amazing Tibet biking documentary
I love to know how Zhang Zhehan is throughout the best Tibet biking documentary. The people he met, the stunning landscapes of Tibet captured by him, and the words showing his lovely and thoughtful mind, all let me know the importance of life keep going and no regret to the past. I wish I can see more about this kind of documentary by the director Zhang Zhehan.It's really the August I imagined, and it's not just that August. Listening to Zhang Zhehan talk about every August he encountered in his life, until that moment. He pushed August into the abyss with us, watching him climb up the iceberg step by step, with endless cliffs next to him, as if that August had been embodied in this way, and then restarted in August of 2022, and finally August of 2023. Arriving in his dream Tibet, I seemed to be inspired by his indomitable spirit and revived, just like I had experienced the past three years with him.

A documentary that heals people's hearts
Very good documentary, beautiful scenery, true story, I like the sentence very much: "Lhasa is not an end, it became the starting point at the moment I arrived."On the road, it is meaningful in itself.The director's camera truly records everything, the local customs along the way, about life, about riding and dreams, everyone has different feelings.
I don't know if anyone like me wants to travel to Tibet after watching it. The beautiful grassland, snowy mountains and primitive forests are so shocking.

This is a heart-warming and healing documentary.
Zhang Zhehan suffered huge rumors and slander online violence in August 2021, which led to the interruption of his acting career and his life has fallen into hell. In August 2022 and 2023, he went cycling to see the world, people, scenery, and all the beautiful things. He was saving himself and people who were also hurt.Even though he suffered huge online violence, Zhang Zhehan still appreciates the beautiful things in the world with a beautiful eye. In this documentary, he showed his broad-mindedness, strength, optimism, and courage to move forward.
I think people who have also suffered from online violence can find strength from this documentary. This is a heart-warming and healing documentary.

“August” Journey
I cried after watching August. It is a pity that such a talented and outstanding young man's acting career was suddenly interrupted. The narration in the film is very resonant. He survived after the severe online violence and frame-up in August 2021, and he chose to start again. He emits positive power, and the people, objects, and scenery during the ride give people the power of harmony and tranquility. His tenacity sustained him through the most difficult moments, and I wish him a smooth life in the future, and wish him to get his innocence and return to the stage as soon as possible.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

In August, searching for my name, seeking my August
Zhehan knows what he has endured, understands what lies ahead, yet he says, 'Let's set off again.' The method of the wheel seal is to imprint anew, to move forward. On the journey, old scars may not vanish, but they no longer bind hands, feet, or heart; they are just one of countless Augusts.'The feeling of being trusted by others is truly a blessing.' Only those who have experienced it truly understand the weight of this sentence. The world sees me, I see them; that's the significance.
Only a transparent soul, a clear mind, and a firm determination can shake hearts with the most authentic power of documentary filmmaking. When Zhehan said he found inner peace, miraculously, my heart also calmed down and felt empowered. A great director is a magician of emotions, and his film 'August' is a profoundly empathetic work.
This is a documentary about director Zhang Zhehan, about actor Zhang Zhehan, about singer Zhang Zhehan-it's simply about Zhang Zhehan. 'August' seems to have answers, yet seems to have none. Only by giving it our all and continuing to move forward can we know the result. I also want to know the answer, so I'll accompany him on this journey!
As violin melody of the song 'Lost Glacier' comes to an end, looking at those lines of achievement, it's like seeing glacier melting, a small flower blooming after hibernation, the dignity and courage understood only by those who have seen it.

A delight to watch!
A successful directorial debut. A great film made on a shoe-string budget with beautiful scenery and funny, light hearted moments. This is a motivational documentary for anyone who has ever been bullied. Zhang Zhe Han is as talented in front of the camera as behind it. His situation at large reminds me of German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller’s words. More people in the entertainment industry should speak up and speak out against cyber bullying. Here is Niemöller’s translated words in poem form at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum:First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out because I was not a socialist.
Then they became for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak for me.
