In Search of Kundun with Martin Scorsese
First screened in April 2020
Director: Michael Henry Wilson. Documentary about the production of Martin Scorsese's 1997 drama Kundun, encompassing some attention to the historical events and characters covered by the film. Interview subjects include Martin Scorsese, Melissa Mathison, Roger Deakins, Tencho Gyalpo, Lobsang Samten, Tenzin Thuthob Tsarong, and the Dalai Lama.

Twitter Capsule: Reveals less the movie, more the mood in which it was made. Loose with structure, history. Still, of interest.

VOR:   The feature-length "making of" film already feels like a relic of the past. This one will hold value principally for Scorsese aficionados.
