With an opening by Richard Gere, this film documents the indominable will of a 13 year old Buddhist Nun and 20 year old Buddhist monk who led freedom demonstrations against the Chinese repression of Tibet. Following a brutal military crackdown, they endure horrific torture as they maintain remarkable courage and struggle to find a way beyond fear. Through the power of a positivie mind, they have found a way to let go of anger and even forgive their former torturers. Human right organizations spearhead an international effort that culminates in their release. Today, inspired byt the Dalai Lama, they have let go of their anger and even forgiven their former torturers as they continue to work to free their fellow prisoners and countrymen.
