This documentary is a portrait of Buddhist abbot Phra Khru Bah and his life with his young novices. From his home base Golden Horse Monastery, the former kickboxer travels the hill tribe villages under his care in the drug-infested Golden Triangle, dispensing buddhadharma and his own brand of tough love.
