Nati Baratz's outstanding new documentary chronicles a former disciple's search for his reincarnated Tibetan master. After twenty-six years of isolated meditation in a mountain cave, Lama Konchog became one of the greatest Tibetan masters of our time. When he passed away in 2001 at age eighty-four, the Dalai Lama instructed his shy, devoted disciple Tenzin Zopa to search for his master's reincarnation. Assisted by astrology, signs from dreams and the whispers of villagers, Tenzin travels by helicopter, mule and foot. Visually stunning, emotionally gripping and shot over the course of four years, UNMISTAKEN CHILD follows a sacred quest through the eyes of a remarkable attendant.
