The documentary starts with a brief account of how a boy from a village in Tibet is discovered as the 13th Dalai Lama and brought to Lhasa. The boy holds a secret. And it is this revelation that slowly sinks in as you watch the three decades of footage unfold.

His holiness the Dalai Lama’s love for science is the main theme of the documentary. Actual footage has been used very well with voice-overs, without diluting how Dalai Lama experiences the conversations. The discussions span across topics like Cosmology, Quantum Physics, Cognitive science, Neuroscience, Molecular biology and Genetics. After going through a specific science, its attributes are compared to Buddhist principles. Rather than condescending (except few places...

An earnest, over-stuffed infomercial for the potential and benefits of practicing mindfulness, multi-hypenate Rob Beemer’s “The Mindfulness Movement” demonstrates the practice, offers an abbreviated history of its growth in the U.S., and cites examples of the therapeutic, scientific, corporate, academic and athletic benefits of living a more conscious life.
After kicking off with celebrity endorsements, the film clunkily interweaves the traumatic stories of people who found mindfulness to be a literal life saver with testimonies from those who incorporated it into their careers, used it to help prisoners, addicts, cancer survivors and at-risk youth, or who just wanted to share the feelings of calm that it brought them. Although the film doesn’t go that deep, given these strange times, it could benefit from the curiosity of the anxious and distracted who are seeking tools to cope with stress.
