Paths of the Soul/冈仁波齐

This docu-drama follows the journey of a group of Tibetans on a pilgrimage to Lasa, the holy capital of Tibet and the Holy Mountain Kong Rinpoche. The journey covers 1,200 km on foot, in a continuous repetition of prostrating one's self on the ground.
The pilgrimage tour is like people's life, there are happiness, pleasure(group dancing), sadness(landslide), hope(the newly-born baby) and accidents, just like human being's whole life. It is not a simple road tour, but a metaphor of someone's whole life. The Tibetans just make peace with everything they come across, up or down. They have simple but strong faith, they live their lives simply and peacefully, and step by step they lead themselves to their destination, where they peacefully and joyfully accept their fate, including death.

This movie could calm down the audience; it is not some so-called religion-consuming movie, as this is just Tibetans' lives, they don't exaggerate or hide, just demonstrate their lives to the audience. Like it or not, it is them.
