518    Originally produced by Ronin Films in 2013. 
520    This documentary tells the story of women fighting to gain
       their place as female monks, or Bhikkhunis, in male 
       dominated Buddhist traditions around the world. “It’s 
       like a revolution has happened for women in Buddhism 
       across the globe, yet if you’re not connected with the 
       Buddhist community you probably wouldn’t know about it,” 
       says the film’s director, Wiriya Sati. Sati was raised a 
       Buddhist in Australia, but when she sought the path of 
       ordination, she, like so many other women, faced a wall of
       discrimination based on gender. If Buddhism is based on 
       compassion and equality, why is sexism and discrimination 
       prevalent in this religion? The Buddha himself invited 
       women to join his group of disciples and allowed women to 
       be ordained alongside men some 2500 years ago. What 
       happened? With appearances from His Holiness The Dalai 
       Lama, Tibeten nun Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo, and Thai activist
       nun Dhammananda Bhikkhuni, The Buddha’s Forgotten Nuns 
       attempts to discover how the role of women in Buddhism 
       changed so drastically and why so few women's orders 
       remain today. The film uncovers new paths being forged for
       women in Australia, the US and pockets around the world, 
       as we meet the men and women who are pulling down barriers
       and pushing for change in the monastic world. But will the
       Bhikkhuni movement expand beyond a few independent-minded 
       Western communities and gain momentum in still traditional
       male-oriented cultures? This film was directed by Wiriya 
       Sati.
