The Unwinking Gaze offers unique, behind-the-scenes insight into the recent working life of Tibet's would-be savior and revered world icon the Dalai Lama.

This documentary was filmed over a period of three years with exceptional access showing the daily agonies of the Tibetan leader as he tries to strike a balance between his Buddhist vows and the realpolitik needed to placate China. David and Goliath is played out in front of us as the world’s emerging superpower and the Dalai Lama walk a tightrope over an issue of global importance.

The Unwinking Gaze is not three years in the life of the Dalai. It is his life's work in three years. This film takes you inside the Titanic struggle of one of the great spiritual and political figures of our time, as he tries to lead his people to a peaceful resolution with China.
