Known throughout the world for its extraordinary beauty and its emphasis on Gross National Happiness, the remote Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan was the last nation to connect to the internet and television. And if that weren't enough change, the King announced shortly afterwards that he would cede his power to the people via their vote and a new form of government: Democracy.
Surrounding its poignant insights with a gentle layer of crowd-pleasing comedy, Pawo Choyning Dorji’s feature film “The Monk and the Gun” (2023, 107 min) is a timely political satire that underscores the fragility of democracy.
