Daughters of Wisdom
An intimate portrait of the nuns of Kala Rongo, a rare and exceptional Buddhist Monastery exclusively for women situated in Nangchen, in remote and rural northeastern Tibet. These nuns are receiving religious and educational training previously unavailable to women, and playing an unprecedented role in preserving their rich cultural heritage even as they slowly reshape it. They graciously allow the camera a never-before-seen glimpse into their vibrant spiritual community and insight into their extraordinary lives. Some shy, some outspoken, all are committed to the often difficult life they have chosen, away from the yak farms and herding families of their birth. It is the story of their spiritual community, one that couldn't have existed 20 years ago but is thriving today.

everything you have heard about this movie is true.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
A great look into the struggle Tibetan women have solidifying their place in their religion. "My Reincarnation" is a moving documentary that focuses on Tibetan culture and religion through the eyes of someone who is struggling to accept it. Yeshi, the main character works with accepting his identity within the Buddhist religion as reincarnated leader. We watch Yeshi and his fathers relationship mold his perception of his role. It's interesting to witness someone's struggle with importance and leadership. And to compare a persons struggle to either find their place in a religion and out of it.
