Andrew Hinton on how his documentary constructed buildings

from Culture 101

Andrew Hinton's 2014 documentary Tashi and the Monk followed a Buddhist monk running a refuge for abandoned children in the remote foothills of the Indian Himalayas. The film won 27 awards, ended up on HBO after a chance encounter in a festival shuttle bus, and raised enough money to fund two new buildings at the community. Twelve years later, Hinton has returned. Tashi is now a teenager and a big sister to a young boy named Karma. He joins Culture 101 to discuss Loving Karma, what he found when he went back, and the monk's definition of love, which he has since tried to apply to his own parenting: patience plus attention.
