Chasing the Light tells the story of charismatic hippie Peter Cornish who founded Dzogchen Beara, a world-leading Tibetan Buddhist centre on the cliffs of West Cork.

For five decades, this former clifftop farm has transformed the lives of thousands who receive solace from the Buddhist teachings. But as the devoted community attempts to build Ireland's first Tibetan Buddhist temple, their revered teacher, Sogyal Rinpoche, is accused of serious misconduct.

Chasing the Light sensitively dissects this spiritual haven's complicated history in this meditative and beautiful film.
