In his 1992 documentary "Compassion in Exile", filmmaker Mickey Lemle created a groundbreaking portrait of the 14th Dalai Lama. His new film takes a fresh look at what is important for His Holiness, who is now in his 80s: the historic confrontation between Tibet and China; his influence in political, spiritual and educational spheres; his work with neuroscientists; and his personal feelings on aging, dying and whether he will be the last Dalai Lama. His impact on the West has grown over the 25 years since the earlier film, and we see some of his influence at work in classes and scientific studies. Artfully weaving interviews and accounts from family, friends and people he inspired, this film vibrantly conveys the Dalai Lama’s humor, wisdom and compassion

Trungpa became renowned for translating ancient Buddhist concepts into language and ideas that Westerners could understand and shattered preconceived notions about how an enlightened teacher should behave. Initially rejected, his teachings are now recognized by western philosophers and spiritual leaders as authentic and profound.

Estamos em plena Nova York do ano 2000, quando uma nova geração de jovens cineastas está despontando para a fama. Hamlet (Ethan Hawke) um deles, possuído por uma alienação e ânsia pouco comuns para os jovens espectadores de seus filmes. A Dinamarca não um reino, mas sim uma corporação gigantesca e o fantasma de seu pai desta vez aparece para Hamlet no terraço do hotel em que ele está hospedado. O clássico "ser ou não ser, eis a questão" desta vez declamado sob as luzes fluorescentes de uma grande locadora de vídeo.
