The boy monk’s story comes alive in this epic biographical film. It traces the extraordinary journey of the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyaltso from his discovery as a reincarnation of the Great 13th, the Buddha of Compassion, to take over the reins of a nation at a young age and his escape to India, following the tragedy of the Chinese invasion of Tibet
