| Short Description: | East meets West in the Deep South. An overcrowded maximum-security prison in Alabama is dramatically changed by the influence of an ancient Buddhist meditation program.
THE DHAMMA BROTHERS tells a dramatic tale of human potential and transformation as it closely documents the stories of a group of prison inmates who enter into an intensive 10-day silent meditation program. This inspiring film challenges assumptions about the nature of prisons as places of punishment rather than rehabilitation and raises the question: is it possible for these men, some of whom have committed horrendous crimes, to change?
In the words of Sister Helen Prejean (Dead Man Walking), "it gives you hope for the human race." |
