“uncommon clarity…vivid and haunting imagery.”

–Hollywood Reporter

This masterful film shows the portrait of the late Gyalwa Karmapa, one of the most revered figures in Tibet. The film journeys with the Karmapa as he travels from his home monastery in the Himalayan kingdom of Sikkim, to North America, where he visited the Hopi Nation, offered teachings to curious Westerners, and performed the mystical Black Crown Ceremony.
