10 Questions for the Dali Lama

A fascinating, informative, and personable documentary in which filmmaker Rick Ray intertwines astute observations from his travels in the Middle East, Tibet, China, and India with a brief history of the religious, political, and cultural clash between Tibet and China after China massacred millions of monks and destroyed thousands of monasteries and includes an insightful interview with the charismatic spiritual leader His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama at the monastery in Dharamsala in which the director asks such questions as why do the poor often seem happier than the rich, how important is it to preserve one's cultural heritage, how do you reconcile a commitment to nonviolence when faced with violence, and how does one find a happy, meaningful life under the stern and severe watchful eye of the most populated nation on earth.
