What happens
Come and See (Thai: เอหิปัสสิโก; RTGS: ehipatsiko) is a Thai documentary film directed by Nottapon Boonprakob and produced by UnderDoc Film. The film focuses on the alleged controversies regarding the teachings and practices of Wat Phra Dhammakaya and chronicles the events of the 23-day lockdown of the temple by the Thai military junta in 2017. The film was initially screened at the Busan International Film Festival in South Korea in 2019 before being released in Thailand in April 2021 following approval by Thai media censors. The film's original Thai language name, Ehipassiko, comes from a phrase commonly used in a Pali language Theravada Buddhist chant, meaning literally "come and see", hence the name.
