Buddha Wild: The Monk in a Hut
Buddhist monks aren't usually described as wild (at least not in our urban dictionary), but director Anna Wilding's intriguing feature documentary debut stirs up the meditation room a bit. 'Buddha Wild' explores what really goes on behind the monastery doors, touching on hot-button issues like the roles of women, racism, and celibacy in a monk's daily life. A refreshing synthesis of Eastern and Western politics and culture.
