Becoming Who I Was

Padma Angdu is no ordinary boy. In his past life he was a revered Buddhist teacher. A village doctor in the isolated highlands of northern India has been working to prepare him, but he feels that the boy needs a true master. Tibet, the center of Buddhist faith, is far from their village, and the conflict with China makes the thought of a trip extremely dangerous. Despite the dangers, Angdu and his mentor set out on foot toward Tibet.

Documentarians Chang-Yong Moon and Jin Jeon followed the pair for eight years and have crafted a deeply moving portrait.
