Thank you for showing your film on RU-vid. What a wonderful compassionate thing to do. I feel very privileged to be able to watch it. I travelled to Nepal over thirty years ago with a small video camera and a solar panel recharging unit my friend made for me that could be carried on our back whilst walking. Before digital cameras. It was a special trip and we finally used some of the footage to raise money for medical training for the local Ani's at a temple way up in the mountains. I didn't think this would happen with my footage which I endlessly struggled with on returning home and spent weeks and months trying to put a film together without much experience or talent for editing. Your film is so well put together and I'm sure will bring more joy to people than you may realise so thank you again as you have told a wonderful story so well. It was such a treat to see your father's joy overflowing. Well done
Hey AP. I saw your documentary on Andong's channel twice since yesterday. It's extremely personal and moving. Thanks for making it and sharing it with us. My best wishes to Didi wherever he is now.
What a heartwarming tale. Only two days you cannot experience, yesterday & tomorrow, l liked that !!. Your documentary a present moment, wonderful moment in the flow of my life. Today I experienced the joy of your tale, your excellent work, the new birth of your relationship with your father. Each moment birth & death arrive in equal quantities, “From the withered tree a flower blooms” an opportunity to live and die fully.
Amazing that I watched 2 documentaries with a similar story there is one by Danny bull "hidden buddhist monastery" Where they went to zanskar after 30 years to meet the monk too.. You have to see each other's documentaries.
Magnificent and inspiring, such a wonder man and dear children, bravo I will save this documentary and watch it as often as I need encouragement and inspiration
Such a heart warming and amazing story indeed that touched my heart and left me in tears after watching. This is the kind of story that shouldn’t be left ignored and submit it to a film festival. The story is so raw and unique. Being a spiritual person I truly understood how life would be when everything turned upside down along your journey. It’s life. And life will teach us a lesson. Surrendering yourself to a simplest way of living is a masterpiece. And DIDI just win it and accomplished his Masterpiece and that’s what I call “Success”. “Life is a journey not a destination”. To my cousin Eypee - you are amazing! Your un-selfish dedication on your father’s story is a brilliant kind of work coz you put tons of love to make an effort for this documentary to happen and shared it to the world without second thoughts. And together with your amazing best friend Arseny(Andong) made the story perfect for the viewers! You guys “rocks”! I salute you! Such a great job. You know you’ve always been my idol on your filming industry and your talents are extraordinary. Guys thank you so much for sharing this to the world eventhough I already watched it during my Australian roadtrip with Eypee on 2020. And actually met Uncle Didi in Sydney after the roadtrip. It’s still worth to watch this story again and again. So inspiring! 💖
That was so interesting! At first i was like: I'm too tired to read subtitles, then video skipped few seconds and I was in! Great job it was pleasure to witness this adventure of yours How is Papa? (didi) where is he now? Regards
What a beautiful film! Hope your dad is doing well in Zanskar! Moreover, I envy your strength to leave him behind at the end of the film which means not being able to easily stay in contact like others are able to. This step wouldn’t have been possible for me tbh. Additionally, I hope your film brings in money as well! I don’t wanna know how much the production costs have been - it must have been a fortune! To me as a German I can easily see this film on ARTE at prime time. It’s not only wonderful from a cinematic perspective (great colors, perspectives, sophisticated drone shots…) but also from a philosophical and cultural standpoint. It shows the ups and downs of being a traveller more than any other film I’ve seen so far. At the same time it also collects the spirit/ essence of the region in a fascinating matter! I would really like to see a follow up film with your father (maybe also going more into depth into your relationship) but I can also understand if that’s too intimate for you! It’s definitely one of the best films I’ve seen so far and I’m really glad you allowed us to take part in your journey! Wünsche dir einen guten Rutsch & herzlichen Dank für deine/eure Arbeit!!!
I am also an elderly German living in Melbourne, Australia....so touched by this documentary. l am speechless. Sorry, l am not writing in German, the keyboard has no German alphabet. After my marriage broke down, l also wanted to live by myself in the woods, but l did not dare. I admire this man. And l absolutely agree with others, this is a unique heartbreaking-heartwarming human story not to be missed. Thank you for sharing. Universal love, and a satisfying life journey. 🇩🇪🌏🦘🐨
sounds like someone eating animal corpse tho, hope the monk save his top leading cause of early death related to eating animal corpse and secretion aswell
