'Hannah' tells the story of Buddhist pioneer Hannah Nydahl and her life bringing Tibetan Buddhism to the West. From her idealistic roots in 1960's Copenhagen to the hippie path in Nepal, Hannah and her husband Ole turned two of the primary Western college students of His Holiness the sixteenth Karmapa - the primary consciously reincarnated lama of Tibet in 1110. Hannah went on to turn out to be an assistant and translator for a few of the strongest Tibetan lamas and a bridge between Buddhism within the East and the West.
