Daughters of Dolma

Daughters of Dolma takes you on a riveting journey to Nepal, revealing a distinctively female experience of Tibetan Buddhist nuns. From the use of Facebook to a love of horror films these nuns never fail to challenge preconceptions by integrating the craziness of the modern world into their ancient form of monastic lives. This feature-length documentary brings to the screen not just Buddhist spirituality and qualities like compassion and kindness, but Tibetan Buddhist nuns as full individuals beyond their monastic vows and religious practices. Daughters of Dolma reveals how gender and modernity are molding contemporary spiritual practices in Nepal.
