NURTURING COMPASSION portrays the Seventeenth Gyalwang Karmapa, leader of the Karma Kagyu Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, and his tour of Germany in 2014, his first-ever visit to Europe. Following in the footsteps of his previous incarnation, genuinely regarded as one of the 20th Century’s great saints, the Karmapa faces major challenges.

BODHISATTVA portrays the Seventeenth Gyalwang Karmapa, one of the most important lamas in the world of Tibetan Buddhism, at an earlier moment in his trajectory as a teacher: his first visit to the West—specifically, the United States. In this documentary film, we meet not only the leader of the Kagyu Lineage, but also a young man of uncommon warmth, humanity, and humor.

YANGSI offers an intimate portrait of a young Tibetan boy who is recognized as the reincarnation of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, among the most revered Tibetan Buddhist masters of the twentieth century. He is known as the 'Yangsi,' the one who has come again into existence.
