"Get enlightened with ‘Dalai Lama’. Grade: A-. With luscious cinematography and awe-inspiring humanity, 10 Questions for the Dalai Lama is one of the most electrifying documentaries to be released this year.”
- The Boston Herald

"Enlightening... provocative... highly engaging"
– The Washington Post

Filmmaker Rick Ray had the extraordinary opportunity of speaking with His Holiness the Dalai Lama over the course of several months at his private monastery in Dharamsala, India. He got the leader's opinions on war, poverty and many other big issues, discovering that the Dalai Lama is an environmentalist, an advocate of women's rights, willing to abandon tradition when it is clearly antiquated and has a great sense of humor in this sincere documentary.
