ABOUT THE FILM
How do you reconcile a commitment to non-violence when faced
with violence? Why do the poor often seem happier than the
rich? Must a society lose its traditions in order to move
into the future? These are some of the questions posed to
His Holiness the Dalai Lama by filmmaker and explorer Rick
Ray. Ray examines some of the fundamental questions of our
time by weaving together observations from his own journeys
throughout India and the Middle East, and the wisdom of
an extraordinary spiritual leader. This is his story, as
told and filmed by Rick Ray during a private visit to his
monastery in Dharamsala, India over the course of several
months. Also included is rare historical footage as well
as footage supplied by individuals who at great personal
risk, filmed with hidden cameras within Tibet. Part biography,
part philosophy, part adventure and part politics, "10 Questions
for The Dalai Lama" conveys more than history and more than
answers - it opens a window into the heart of an inspiring
man.
If you had only one hour, what would you ask?
ABOUT THE SOUNDTRACK
Music from the film 10 Questions for the Dalai Lama was
composed by Grammy nominated pianist and composer Peter
Kater. Tibetan bowls, cello, piano, strings and flutes are
fused to evoke the vast plateaus, majestic mountains and
spiritual mystery that are experienced in the film. With
guest appearances by chanting Tibetan monk and teacher,
Tulku Orgyen, Tibetan flutist Nawang Khechog, and Native
American flutist R. Carlos Nakai, Peter Kater has created
a soundtrack that is the perfect partner to the film's beautiful
imagery.
ABOUT THE FILMMAKER
Cinematographer, writer and director Rick Ray has traveled
the world to capture images of its peoples and cultures.
He has produced twelve films on regions as diverse as Israel,
Bali, Borneo, Lebanon, Ethiopia, Syria, and Iceland, with
titles that include Raise the Bamboo Curtain with Martin
Sheen and the highly regarded The Soul of India. Beyond
trips to India to acquire footage for the film, Ray spent
2 years tracking down rare archival footage of the Dalai
Lama's youth, the Chinese takeover, and the subsequent hardships.
Ray feels honored to have had the opportunity to interview
the Dalai Lama and bring the experiences to the screen.
