Meditation in prison, a holding tank, a holding environment until you die or are released. It's your space and this meditation seems to be an inside job from what I perceive. How can these Vipassana brothers stick together and help one another with the "new" language of meditation? How can they continue to "rewrite" what it is to be a lifetime inmate and have an environment of freedom of the emotional chains that they gave years of their life too? I hope them well and at peace and pray to God that the program continues. Be Well.

I do worry that these "christians" will keep worrying so much about losing those "saved" that they will keep shooting the rest of society in the foot.Who cares if it's Buddha they find? If whatever they find creates such a positive change, why not spread it? WHY prevent something so wonderful?This was really great-- the best "prison" movie or show i have yet seen.namaste

To see these men find inner peace brought tears to my eyes. There is so much to be proud of here. So much to be discovered about who and what we all are. Where there is harmony- there is hope! Listen to the silence. That's where the answers are.

Really liked this film, it was very different than most prison documentaries that you normally see. I could never do a ten day silent meditation.

I don't know of any stories of transformation that are about real life people and events because most of the films or literature we see are about superhero or anthropomorphic transformation, they are fake and after seeing or reading them, we are left unconvinced. This film shows that a mind and soul has the potential for any gamut of quality no matter where it's been. It's what any religion wants to convey, inner freedom. What I loved most about this method is that these prisoners had to face the internal horrors of what they had done, and sit with their emotions, ultimately reconciling in some form with their past and experiencing true repentance. This type of rehabilitation not only frees the victimizer, but the victim as well, because that inner self resolution on the part of the victimizer is most what the victim or their families want and probably the only thing that would allow them to forgive to some degree and move on.

As the description states, this is an powerful story of human potential and transformation using the ancient practice of Insight (Vipassana) meditation. While it's not a fast paced film, it is a eloquent and engaging tale that can serve to inspire and remind us of how each human, no matter how low they have fallen or how much they have suffered, has the power to transform their life. Thanks to Hulu for posting a film like this that truly deserves to get more recognition and distribution.
