Director Martin Scorsese brings to the screen the true story of one of our eras most compelling and inspiring figures; the fourteenth Dalai Lama. Told through the eyes of His Holiness, Kundun chronicles his early life, from childhood through the Chinese occupation and his journey into exile. The film charts his extraordinary growth into a figure who raises the worlds consciousness about the Buddhist society of the spirit, the plight of Tibet, and the sufferings endured by his people with unspeakable grace and dignity. It is the story of a remarkable boy, imbued with the insight and wisdom of centuries, whose will proves indomitable. (Universal Sony Pictures Home Entertainment)
