Cinematographer/writer/director Rick
Ray (Raise the Bamboo Curtain;
The Soul of India) masterfully weaves
the spiritual and historical to produce
an illuminating portrait of His Holiness
the 14th Dalai Lama.
Filmed at his place of exile - a modest
Buddhist monastery in Dharamsala,
India - 10 Questions for the Dalai
Lama includes rare archival footage
of the Dalai Lama’s youth, the Chinese
invasion and the consequential
struggle. Since receiving the Nobel
Peace Prize in 1989 the Tibetan
leader has become known on the
international stage as the “rock star of
peace”, advocating environmentalism,
women’s rights, promoting compassion
and tolerance and, most notably, a
peaceful resolution to the struggle for
Tibetan independence.
10 Questions for the Dalai Lama
combines Ray’s personal journey
and observations; historical analysis
and biography; rare footage supplied
by individuals (who at great personal
risk used hidden cameras to
film within Tibet); and a musical score
from Grammy-nominated composer
Peter Kater.
