This is the theatrical premiere of A Song for the Snow Lion. In the high Himalayas of Bhutan, yak herders have long told their children that wherever there are glaciers, there live snow lions, mythical guardians of the mountains whose fur is as white as snow and whose mane is as blue as the morning sky. It is a story that has taught generations to revere the ice and the peaks, and to understand that all life is bound together.
When Yo-Yo Ma travels to Bhutan with his cello, filmmaker Pawo Choyning Dorji weaves Ma’s journey around this ancient folktale with stunning cinematography. Together, they venture to the Lunana valley, one of the most remote human settlements on earth, where a young highlander girl still longs to hear the roar of the snow lion, even as the glaciers that are its home recede before her eyes. A Song for the Snow Lion is the untying of the knot of interdependence, a reminder that the survival of an ancient story and the survival of our planet may be one and the same.
