This is so beautiful and inspiring! An American version of an earlier film, "Doing Time, Doing Vipassana", which takes place in an Indian prison. We are all criminals, whether we are incarcerated or not. We have all done things we regret and have to live with. Vipassana meditation shows a way out towards freedom. How utterly courageous, to do this difficult work when you know you will never be released from prison alive! Can those of us who are free cherish our freedom and use it towards good? Throughout the film, the skeptics wonder "will it last?" "Will these people really change? Is real change possible?" But they have not done the course! In the Indian prison, the prison staff took the course before the inmates.
