Overview

A film illuminating the interconnectedness of education, spiritual dedication, and persistence.

Bön: Mustang to Menri tells the story of Asonam, a 10 yr. old boy, who made a journey from his homeland, the ancient kingdom of Mustang (now part of Nepal) to Menri Monastery in Northern India.
