Daughters of Wisdom
NEW DOCS
This contemplative and starkly beautiful film invites us into a Tibetan monastery, where the residents are not monks but nuns. Secluded in the Eastern Tibetan plateau north of the Himalayas, the Kala Rongo Monastery is home to nearly 300 Buddhist nuns. Life for these women is austere, even difficult, but the richness they derive from their commitment and their grand surroundings is palpable in every frame. RR
