SYNOPSIS

Butterfly Bhutan follows Sonam Phuntsho, a devoted Buddhist who quietly battles a harmful tradition of hoisting prayer flags on the trees in Thimphu, Bhutan¡¯s capital city. Sonam¡¯s journey reflects how one person¡¯s quiet commitment can inspire collective action and restore balance between faith and nature. 

NOTE

Butterfly Bhutan was inspired by Sonam Phuntsho¡¯s selfless mission to save trees from harmful prayer flag practices. The film advocates mindful traditions, urging respect for both culture and environment through responsible action.
