Lost in time, the Himalayan Kingdom of Mustang is one of the last sanctuaries of authentic Tibetan Buddhist culture. But, long isolated by geography and politics, the people struggle to survive and the center of their culture, the fifteenth century monasteries and the brilliant holy murals within, are dangerously close to collapse. Narrated by Richard Gere and featuring the Dalai Lama, Mustang - Journey of Transformation, is a breathtaking film that tells the compelling story of the efforts to rescue this ancient place from the brink of extinction and help spark a cultural renaissance.
