Unmistaken Child

The four-year search for the reincarnation of a world-renowned Tibetan master is chronicled in this documentary by first-time filmmaker Nati Baratz. It's a privileged glimpse of rural life in this remote region, and there's plenty of spiritual belief and Buddhist ceremony. But it's the human story of the 21-year-old disciple Tenzin Zopa, his devotion to his quest and his brotherly affection toward the "unmistaken child" he ultimately finds, that centers the film. Features eight deleted scenes plus an accompanying essay by Buddhist scholar Robert Thurman.
