Mixing both customs and inquisitiveness, the Wat Carolina documentary focuses on the ways in which a Buddhist community thrives in Eastern North Carolina, and essentially possesses just as many similarities with its surrounding society as it does differences. Culturally deemed out of place, this monastery exists among the deserted and church-littered Bolivia, North Carolina. After his siblings donated 21 acres of land, Abbot Phrakru Buddhamonpricha moved from Indonesia to establish the Wat Carolina Monastery. Before settling on Bolivia the Abbot searched for a suitable location, only to find a "spiritual presence" where the monastery sits today. With a touch of history and an in depth look at this mysterious Zen-embracing culture, this documentary will urge you to look outside the box at just how alike people so different can be.
