He is a dynamic and charismatic leader who speaks frequently about the environment, women’s rights, animal suffering, vegetarianism and taking action to ease the suffering of all beings. The movie takes place in Bodhgaya India, where Buddha attained enlightenment. Joy cares for street dogs and animals of Bodhgaya. Dominique has a tutorial school, educating the children of a poor local village.
