Who chooses the next Dalai Lama—and what happens if two different people are given the same title?
This documentary explores the history behind that question: how Dalai Lamas are recognised, Tibet’s relationship with China, the flight into exile, and the rival claims to the title of Panchen Lama.
It follows the competing positions of the Dalai Lama and the Chinese government on succession, and asks what a disputed recognition could mean for Tibetans.
Who can confer a title—and who can earn the belief of the people expected to follow it?
