In the borderlands of Thailand's Golden Triangle, a rugged region known for its drug smuggling and impoverished hill tribes, one man devotes himself to the welfare of the region's children. A former Thai boxer turned Buddhist monk, he travels widely on horseback, fearlessly dispensing prayers health care and education.
With his Golden Horse Temple, he's built an orphanage, school and clinic - a haven for the children of the region, who see him as a shaman, a father figure and a coach.
This intimate portrait charts a journey across the Northern Thai seasons during which we see the monk's unique methods unlocking the boy's potential. Its a story of self-discovery, but one of constant fascination as the boys adjust to a lifestyle that's equally challenging, and inspiring...
A genuinely surprising view of another world altogether.
