For over a thousand years, a secretive Buddhist sect has lived on an remoted monastery in Japan performing acts of utmost bodily endurance of their pursuit of enlightenment. A filmmaker, struggling to reconcile his needs together with his religion, units off to the strict monastery in quest of solutions. When he arrives, his presence just isn't welcomed and the one monk who will converse with him is an outcast who prefers ice cream and Slayer to meditation. Collectively they forge an unlikely friendship that leads them to larger truths and sometimes, a little bit bother. Shot over 5 years on three continents, Crows are White is an exploration of fact, religion and love, from the highest of a mountain to the underside of a sundae.
