Description:
In this poignant retelling of history, 'Kundun' unravels the events surrounding the 14th Dalai Lama's forced exile from his homeland, Tibet. As communist China invades and institutes a harsh regime upon the peaceful nation, we bear witness to the challenging decisions the spiritual leader faces during his escape to India in 1959. The film captures not only the historical significance of these events but also sheds light on the profound resilience and wisdom of the Dalai Lama as he adjusts to life in exile in Dharamsala. Through a blend of subtle, evocative visuals and an engaging narrative, 'Kundun' delves into themes of spirituality, cultural preservation, and the struggle for human rights against oppression.
