On June 10, 2024, Indian director Pawo Choyning Dorji, of the film 'The Monk And The Gun,' was awarded an honorary doctorate by Lawrence University in the US. In his speech, he used 'rainbow' as a metaphor for life goals with continuous changes, which resonated well with the graduates and audience. After 18 years, Dorji returned to his alma mater and jokingly expressed his disbelief at his wife and children by his side. The film's inspiration came from a decision by the Bhutanese king to modernize the country while maintaining its traditions. Dorji's wife, Lai Fan, plays a significant role in his successful filmmaking journey and is acclaimed as 'Taiwan's most knowledgeable about the Oscars.'
