Lunana: A Yak in the Classroom
A reluctant young teacher is assigned to a remote Himalayan school and learns life changing lessons. In a classroom with no electricity or blackboard, he finds himself with only a yak and a song that echoes through the mountains. Staggeringly beautiful and a reminder of film’s ability to communicate universal truths across international borders.
