| Summary: | Deep into the jungle mountains of Thailand on the border with Myanmar and far off any conventional map, Ben spends time with 40-year-old French-Canadian Julien, who has been a Buddhist monk for almost half his life. Living in a remote monastery, Ben learns how and why this former teenage student from the West stripped away all complications of a modern life for a primitive Eastern and religious existence, and how this choice affected his family. The adventurer observes how Julien has created a bespoke way of life, which includes giving back to the remote hill-tribe communities in his region.
