A rare, intimate journey into faith, reincarnation, doubt, and karma. Unmistaken Child follows a young monk (Geshe Tenzin Zopa, ALC's Khyentse Visitor) on an extraordinary mission: to find the reincarnation of his beloved teacher, one of Tibetan Buddhism’s great masters. Traveling through remote Himalayan villages, his search unfolds not as spectacle but as a deeply human story of love, loss, and responsibility. With breathtaking landscapes and quietly powerful moments, the film captures the fragile space where ancient tradition meets real lives. There is no narration telling you what to believe—only faces, silences, and the emotional weight of a decision that will forever change a child and his family. Both moving and unsettling, Unmistaken Child invites viewers to witness a living spiritual tradition while asking timeless questions: How do we recognize another soul? What is the cost of being found? Tender, beautiful, and unforgettable, this acclaimed documentary lingers long after the screen goes dark.
