The Unwinking Gaze: The Inside Story of the Dalai Lama's Struggle for Tibet plot

'The Unwinking Gaze' is a portrait of the Dalai Lama. Most documentaries about the Tibetan leader focus on his spiritual role, 'The Unwinking Gaze' mainly focuses on his political leadership. While the Olympics are just around the corner and Tibet is in the headlines, this film shows new images on the globally debated issue. Director Joshua Dugdale followed the Dalai Lama closely for three years. Without many restrictions. He was present at meetings that are normally not allowed to be filmed. The film thus shows how the Tibetan leader tries to strike a delicate balance between his Buddhist vows and the sober politics necessary to placate China. 'The Unwinking Gaze' takes us into the titanic struggle of one of the great spiritual and political figures of our time.
