Synopsis:
ARIZONA PREMIERE! A classic tale of redemption, revenge and with a uniquely Buddhist
ending. Long before he was Tibet’s greatest Yogi, a young Milarepa wrestles with betrayal,
masters black magic, destroys a village and confronts demons – and his own conscience –
in a tale of awakening that has inspired millions for over 1,000 years.
Milarepa depicts the humble beginnings of the man who was to become Tibet's greatest
saint. A true story based on centuries-old oral traditions. Milarepa, one of the most widely
known Tibetan saints, is also revered for the verses he composed throughout his life, known
as the Hundred Thousand Songs of Milarepa. His faithful devotion to his teacher,
astonishing perseverance, and ultimate attainment made his life story into a legend,
inspiring millions. Photographed in the stunning Lahaul-Spiti region of Northern India.
