Rise Of The Geshe-Ma Private Screening & Conversation with the Producer
You're invited to a private, pre-release screening of the Rise of the Geshe-Ma short film and conversation with the producer & co-director, Edward Sczudlo.
In the remote Indian Himalayas, a quiet revolution is unfolding. Rise of the Geshe-Ma reveals the untold story of Tibetan Buddhist nuns who have broken centuries of tradition to earn the highest monastic degree — the Geshe. Filmed inside hidden nunneries and sacred courtyards, this intimate portrait captures the fierce wisdom and spiritual awakening led by these trailblazing women.
For generations, the Geshe degree was out of reach for women. Through quiet perseverance and years of deep study, these nuns have gently shifted what was once thought fixed. Rise of the Geshe-Ma follows their journey, not in defiance of tradition, but as a natural unfolding of it. Their story is a testament to devotion, scholarship, and the slow, powerful rhythm of change within monastic life.
