One of the world's most admired figures, the 14th Dalai Lama is the spiritual and secular leader of a nation that exists only as a "Lost Kingdom." Born Tenzin Gyatso, he is the 14th man recognized by his people as Buddha's reincarnation, yet he has lived in exhile since 1959, after a failed rebellion against the occupying Chinese forced him to flee Tibet. This Biography documentary contains key footage from the Dalai Lama's life—including his acceptance of the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize—and interviews with Chinese scholars and pro-Tibet activists like Richard Gere to chronicle his ongoing struggle to free Tibet.
