Paths of the Soul

Last week I saw the film Paths of the Soul by Zhang Yang. The film follows a group of Tibetan pelgrims on their way to Lhasa and Mount Kailash.

Every few meters the pelgrims prostrate themselves to the ground. In this way they travel thousands of kilometers. The film documents in a partly fictional, partly documentary style the whole organisation and execution of this peaceful Buddhist ritual.

Very impressive and highly recommended!
