“East Meets West in the Deep South” Akron Public Interest Society will host a screening of The Dhamma Brothers, a 2009 documentary based on a radical meditation-based prison reform project in Alabama. Light snacks provided.<\/p>\n

The movie will screen at 11:15 am and 6:30 pm in room L-134 on March 23.<\/strong><\/p>\n

See Trailer here: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zA8XFEyeMi8 <\/a><\/p>\n

Synopsis: <\/strong>An overcrowded, violent maximum-security prison, the end of the line in Alabama’s prison system, is dramatically changed by the influence of an ancient meditation program. Behind high security towers and a double row of barbed wire and electrical fence live over 1,500 prisoners, many of whom will never again know life in the outside world. But for some of these men, a spark is ignited when it becomes the first maximum-security prison in North America to hold an extended Vipassana retreat, an emotionally and physically demanding program of silent meditation lasting ten days and requiring 100 hours of meditation.<\/p>\n
