There is joy and peace, self doubt and discovery. Anand shows once again the energy and wisdom of the ages that he possesses and really gets to the heart of the matter with the people that are with him with honesty, open mindedness and sincerity from the...

Inspiring! A must see
A must see! It's not often a film really entertains and inspires you deeply. You forget its a documentary with such stunning Himalayan visuals and music. I could watch it many times, there are so many gems. The leader, Anand Mehrotra, is incredibly accessible, modern, funny, and wise.
