Kundun
Threat advisory: Under evaluation
Movie propaganda
In 1937 a 2½-year-old boy from a simple family in Tibet was recognised as the 14th reincarnation of the Buddha of Compassion and destined to become the spiritual and political leader of his people. Director Martin Scorsese brings to the screen the true story of the Dalai Lama. Told through the eyes of His Holiness, Kundun brings to life the account of the Dalai Lama's early life, from childhood through the Chinese invasion of Tibet and his journey into exile.Kundun is a story of indomitable will and fervent religious commitment set against a spectacular physical backdrop and compelling world politics. It is the true story of Tenzin Gyatso, a boy from rural Tibet, destined to lead his people at one of the most challenging times in their history.
