Synopsis
In Bhutan, 11-year-old Yangchen’s father is the country’s glacier specialist, and thus the only person authorized to climb the sacred mountains. We follow Yangchen’s daily life at school and at home, where she prays that her father won’t disturb the snow lion, the mythical embodiment of the glacier. But the biggest threat to the snow lion’s survival is not Yangchen’s father, but climate change.
