Movie Info

Kala Rongo is a Buddhist Monastery located in a remote area in northeastern Tibet. There, women can pursue the religious training that their patriarchal society has previously denied them. For the first time in Tibet's history, women are provided with an alternative to living in a society where their gender is a severe disadvantage. The women of Kala Rongo spend their days working and meditating in a community that confirms the power of devotion and simplicity.

The film's subject matter is compelling enough. But what really makes Daughters of Wisdom a magical experience is the way Pearlman captures life in that valley.

Harshly beautiful.

Although little more than an hour long, it succeeds in telling us why some people choose the monastic life over the worldly, and what spiritual gains they hope to make in submitting to its rituals.

Some individual moments hit home, but the cumulative effect doesn't add up to anything more than a peek at Tibetan culture.
