Synopsis
This emotional film journey takes us from the set of KUNDUN in Morocco, where we focus on Scorsese at work as he recreates the vanishing Tibetan culture, to the foothills of the Himalayas, where the Dalai Lama in exile reminisces about the events of his youth and the plight of his nation. Their encounter raises issues that are crucial to both men: How do you respond to violence? Resist the temptation of an eye for an eye? Fight our pervasive materialism? Pursue a spiritual vocation in the confusion of everyday life?
