Synopsis
While filming my award-winning documentary LIVING BUDDHA, an even more dramatic story about life, death, and rebirth began. On his way to identifying the rebirth of the Living Buddha, Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche suddenly got killed in a fatal car accident. Two years later we find his rebirth. Until he is almost 20 years old, I follow his life. His brother Topga can not believe that the boy found should be his brother. He is also looking for a sign.
The filming began in 1976. They intensified in 1992 at his death and then continued until 2016. It created 350 hours of film and video material.2019
