An overcrowded maximum-security prison is the end of the line in Alabama’s correctional system. But some of the men there are changed forever by the influence of the ancient meditation discipline of Vipassana. Jenny Phillip’s documentary follows the transformation of 36 prison inmates who enter the arduous and intensive program, finding freedom despite their extreme confinement.
