The Monk And The Gun captures the wonder and disruption as Bhutan becomes one of the world’s youngest democracies. Known throughout the world for its extraordinary beauty and its emphasis on Gross National Happiness, the remote Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan was the last nation to connect to the internet and television. And if that weren’t enough change, the King announced shortly afterwards that he would cede his power to the people via their vote and a new form of government: Democracy.
“The Monk and the Gun delivers a gentle caress of a message that’s quietly delivered, but holds power in this volatile American election year.” – San Jose Mercury News
“This pleasing, leisurely parable set against spectacular scenic backdrops wears its cleverness lightly, so that you’re a little taken aback by the ingeniousness of the resolution.” – 48 Hills
