Interesting, if slightly rose-colored documentary

The story of how bringing meditation to India's largest prison helped turn life around for many of it's inmates. Hopeful, positive, encouraging, and always interesting, I did enjoy it. I just wish it hadn't tried to make it look so simple and easy.

As a practitioner of Vipassana meditation for many years, I know that real change takes work and time, and sometimes the film makes it feel a bit too much like a quick 'miracle cure'.

But it's wonderful to see a film about prison and reform that offers real hope and new thinking, and it's well worth seeing if you have any interest in any of the subject elements.
