This astonishing and revealing 70′ film is the result of 18 months’ unrestricted access to the Dalai Lama. It is an intimate portrait of one of the greatest enigmas of our time, as he struggles to negotiate a political settlement with China and contemplates his possible successor. The Unwinking Gaze offers a unique, behind-the-scenes insight into the recent working life of the Dalai Lama. An extraordinary access-based film, showing his daily agonies whilst balancing his Buddhist vows and the realpolitik needed to placate China.
