Thème Ces chroniques suivent l'ardu voyage de 750 kilomètres à travers l'Himalaya, le "troisième pôle", ses glaciers, les traîtrises du terrain, le hasard des conditions climatiques, entrepris par 700 personnes, moines et nonnes bouddhistes, menés par Gyalwang Drukpa, pour un éco- pèlerinage afin de porter un message sur l'environnement.

This film’s story opens in Ladakh, India (“Little Tibet”), during the aftermath of a freak weather phenomenon known as a cloudburst. Several inches of rain fall in the first sixty seconds, decimating the area with an apocalyptic cascade of mudslides and flash floods. As incidences like this increase over time, entire cultures are now under threat of dispersion, not by the hand of genocide or war, but by the climate chaos associated with global warming.@calgarymovies.com

Displaying a reverence for any form of life that manifested itself in such behavior as carefully removing ants from their footpath, the journeyers walked from village to village, picking up half a ton of plastic litter along the way. They also planted some 50,000 trees, and took pains to educate the villagers on their responsibility to maintain their natural environment. @hollywoodreporter.com 27 novembre 2013
