Today Is Better Than Two Tomorrow

Filmed over the course of four years in an unknown corner of Laos, South East Asia, Today is Better Than Two Tomorrows tells the simple story of friendship between two boys, Leh and Bo, who leave home at age eleven to become novice monks. Gently unfolding like a Buddhist fable, this intimate and meditative film takes us on a journey down the Mekong into a world caught between Eastern wishlessness and Western dreams. One of the few documentaries to come out of Lao PDR, Today is Better than Two Tomorrows presents a rare window into a unique and fading culture.
