In his directorial debut, Buddhist lama Neten Chokling vividly presents the captivating story of Milarepa, the man who would become Tibet's greatest yogi and saint. In the dramatic setting of 11th-century Tibet—a time of roaming sorcerers and yogis, according to Buddhist legend—a young Milarepa falls into a world of betrayal and hardship.The greed of others upturns his privileged life, dropping him into a void of despair, humiliation, pain and anger. He sets out to learn black magic—and exact revenge on his enemies—encountering magicians, demons, an enigmatic teacher and unexpected mystical power along the way. But it is in confronting the consequences of his quest for vengeance that he learns the most.Filmed on the breathtakingly scenic Indo-Tibetan border, with Tibetan monks serving as most of the cast and crew, Milarepa glows with unique visual and spiritual charge.
