Description

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the February 10 & 11 showtimes for THE MONK AND THE GUN have been cancelled. We apologize for the inconvenience and encourage you to purchase tickets for the remaining showtimes (February 12–14). 


In the follow up to his Academy Award–nominated LUNANA: A YAK IN THE CLASSROOM, Pawo Choyning Dorji crafts a big-hearted and poignant fable about embracing the future while recognizing the past. In 2006, the King of Bhutan abdicated the throne, and the country began the transition to democracy. Following the perspective of elders, villagers, and monks, among others, THE MONK AND THE GUN is a playful and wise ensemble drama and a wholly gratifying account of a nation at a crucial inflection point.
