Synopsis
Following up his Oscar-nominated debut film "Lunana: A Yak in the Classroom," Bhutanese filmmaker Pawo Choyning Dorji's "The Monk and the Gun" is a droll political satire set in the year 2006 as the Kingdom of Bhutan transitions towards becoming the world’s youngest democracy. An American travels into Bhutan in search of a valuable antique rifle and crosses paths with a young monk who wanders through the serene mountains, instructed by his teacher to make things right again.
