2017 · 140 min Documentary
8.5 / 10 · TMDB

A surgeon with twenty years of practice. A killer with no name. They are the same man, a prisoner of his own past until a radical experiment in mindfulness offers a chance for redemption. This 2017 documentary explores the intersection of neuroscience and ancient meditation practices, following individuals who have transformed trauma into profound peace. A compelling and intimate look at the science of being here, now.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director's approach relies on intimate proximity to the subjects, allowing their internal shifts to unfold organically. The atmosphere emerges from quiet observations of daily life, where the mundane gains resonance.

It suits viewers seeking testimony rather than instruction on human change. One leaves feeling invited to personal inquiry, not lectured. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Cliff Stephenson
