"Daniel Sumarto's "Mountains and Mystics" avoids the usual tourist destinations in exploring Northern India, capturing both the excitement of the flag-lowering ceremony at Wagah on the Pakistani border, and the more meditative spirit of Dharamsala, home to the exiled government of Tibet. Keeping narration to a minimum to highlight the images and sounds of these regions, this insightful personal documentary is both accessible in form and more lyrical and informative than Lonely Planet-type programs."
