A physical and spiritual journey of redemption, faith, and devotion. Internationally acclaimed filmmaker Zhang Yang (Shower, Getting Home) blurs the border between documentary and fiction to follow a group of devout Chinese Tibetan villagers who leave their families and homes on foot to make a Buddhist “bowing pilgrimage”—throwing their bodies flat on the ground every few steps—along the 1,200-mile-long road to Lhasa, the holy capital of Tibet. Though united in their remarkable devotion, each of the travelers embarks on this near-impossible journey for very personal reasons. Stunningly photographed over the course of an entire year with nonprofessional actors and no script, Paths of the Soul is a mesmerizing study of faith that inspires viewers to reflect on their own journey through life.
