GOLDEN KINGDOM
"GOLDEN KINGDOM" is a narrative feature film about four orphan boys, all novice monks, living in a Buddhist monastery in a remote part of Northeast Burma. The head monk departs on a long journey from which he may never return, leaving the boys alone in the middle of the forest. Once the boys are on their own, strange, magical events begin to occur. Orphan Witazara realizes he must protect the three other boys throughout this series of bizarre events, which threaten to unravel the fabric of the young monk's reality.
