This 30-minute documentary offers a rare glimpse into the fragile beauty of Alchi Monastery, a remote Buddhist site nestled in the highlands of Ladakh, India. Shot by photographer and filmmaker Jaroslav Poncar, the film documents the endangered state of 11th- to 13th-century wall paintings and architectural details, capturing them just before the site drew broader international attention. With a preservationist eye and a deep reverence for cultural history, Save Alchi stands as both a visual archive and an urgent call for conservation. Music composed by Michael Ranta.
