Description: Amongst White Clouds as an intimate insiders look at students and masters living in scattered retreats dotting China's Zhongnan Mountain range. These peaks have reputedly been home to recluses since the time of the yellow Emperor, some 5000 years ago. It was widely thought that the tradition was all but wiped out, but this film emphatically and beautifully shows us otherwise.

One of only a few foreigners to have lives and study with these elusive practitioners, American director Edward Burger is able, with humor and compassion, to present their tradition, their wisdom, in the hardship And joy of their everyday lives among the clouds. -- from box
