Episode 97: The Dhamma Brothers: Vipassana Meditation in Prison
We are joined this week by Jenny Phillips, Director and Producer of the newly released documentary, The Dhamma Brothers. The Dhamma Brothers
gives an in-depth look at how a trial program of vipassana meditation
courses radically transforms the lives of inmates in a the
maximum-security prison facility in Alabama.
In our interview
with Jenny we explore the story behind the film, her intentions for
creating it, and the potential ramifications of introducing these
powerful meditation practices into an environment where genuine
positive transformation is almost unheard of. Put another way we
discuss what happens when "East meets West, in the Deep South."
