    Oscar-nominated director behind Lunana: A Yak in the Classroom and The Monk and the Gun. In this episode of the Asian Diaspora Project Podcast, we explore his journey from a multicultural upbringing to becoming a pioneering filmmaker, Bhutan’s self-imposed isolation and transition to modernity, and the deeper themes in his films.

    Pawo shares insights on storytelling as a form of liberation, Bhutanese culture’s place in an evolving world, and the challenges of making films in a country with little film infrastructure. He also reflects on his transition from studying political science in Wisconsin to becoming a filmmaker, and why he believes failure is essential to success in the arts.
