Looking for the Holy Land 2016

Directed by Zhang Li

Shamadai, heir to a line of Yi bimo (ritual priests), is raised by his mother after his father departs to seek a legendary White Sanctuary. Guided by his father’s cryptic manuscripts and map, he becomes a renowned bimo and at twenty-three sets out to retrace that path toward the mythic Bushileito. His journey turns into a spiritual odyssey through heritage and faith, haunted by the unresolved mystery of his father’s fate.
