Ten years ago the Communist Pathet Lao took over in Laos. Thirty years of civil war and two million tons of US bombs had changed this Buddhist kingdom from a quiet backwater to a front line state of the Cold War. Rumours tell of drastic attempts to turn Laos from its traditional Buddhist beliefs to hard-line Marxist-Leninism. For the first time, the government has allowed a Western crew to film widely in the country. And in this film, Everyman tries to find out why some monks fought with the Communists, why some have fled, and what the future of Buddhism is in a country where theoretically there is no religion.
