Mystic Lands: Burma - Triumph of the Spirit

Plot

In this series of films, the legends and mysteries that surround certain regions are investigated, with an emphasis on the spiritual beliefs of their residents. The programs explore the influences of these beliefs on the daily lives of the people, and how the mystique draws visitors from other parts of the world. The Burmese practice of Theravada Buddhism is explored, as actor/host Edward James Olmos goes to the monasteries of Sagaing and Mandalay and visits Schwedagon Pagoda and the ruins at Bagan. Emmy award-winning photographer Chip Duncan provides footage of the scenic wonders. ~ Alice Day, Rovi
