MY REINCARNATION, Doc/Adventure/Biography, NR, 82 min, with English subtitles

""Jennifer Fox's remarkable documentary "My Reincarnation" follows one such individual over the course of 20 years, only to find that destiny will have its way Especially in the early footage, Chogyal Namkhai Norbu is an engaging, charismatic figure; by the end, Yeshi is finding his own footing, able to relate to a young, wired-in audience. "My Reincarnation" makes a pretty strong case: when the family business is enlightenment, listen to your dad."-Daniel M. Gold, New York Times

Filmed over twenty years by acclaimed documentarian Jennifer Fox (FLYING: CONFESSIONS OF A FREE WOMAN), MY REINCARNATION chronicles the epic story of the high Tibetan Buddhist Master, Chögyal Namkhai Norbu, and his western-born son, Yeshi. The film follows Namkhai Norbu's rise to greatness as a Buddhist teacher in the West, while his son, Yeshi, recognized at birth as the reincarnation of a famous spiritual master, breaks away from his father's tradition to embrace the modern world. Can the father convince his son to keep the family's threatened spiritual legacy alive? Never before has a high Tibetan Master allowed such complete access to his private life and it is doubtful that another ever will. With her signature intimate entry to both family and icons including the Dalai Lama, Fox expertly distills a decades long drama into a universal story about love, transformation, and destiny.
