THE LAST DALAI LAMA? takes a fresh look at what is important for the 14th Dalai Lama at 80: The historic confrontation between Tibet and China; his influence in political, spiritual, and educational spheres; work with neuroscientists; and his personal feelings on aging, dying and whether he will be the last Dalai Lama. The film artfully weaves archival and contemporary footage from Mickey Lemle's groundbreaking COMPASSION IN EXILE: The Story of The 14th Dalai Lama (1991); intimate interviews with His Holiness, shot 25 years apart; and interviews with his family and the Westerners he's inspired since his exile from Tibet in 1959.
