Summary:
An intimate journey to the very heart of Indian mythology, religion, history and thought, this film brings to life the conflict between the Pandavas and the Kauravas, the feuding families at the center of the saga. The world of the Mahabharata is of profound storytelling power and spiritual import; within it a civilization rises, falls and is reborn.
