Saffron Heart is a kind and charming story about a young Tibetan boy who was sent to a Buddhist monastery in South India and the transformations that happened to his way of thinking. His compassionate teacher draws him a map-quest that consists of eight puzzles. Once he has found the answers to all of them, the boy will be able to return home. The film serves as a reminder that as we go about our personal journeys, it’s not the destination but the process that serves as our biggest takeaway.

This film will be available to stream until midnight on Friday, October 31, 2025. To play the film, click on the play button that appears at the center of the image above.
