Ram Dass, Going Home
When it comes to popular culture, there is no better example than Ram Dass. With Ram Dass's own impending demise, he is in a unique position to fight for death and dying awareness as a pyschedelic pioneer, spiritual teacher, and author of the best-selling book Be Here Now. At home on Maui, twenty years after an event that forever altered his life trajectory by an unexpected stroke, he has been cultivating his spiritual practice, which revolves around love and the idea of becoming one with the land, the ocean, all living things. As a poetic reflection on the meaning of life and death, and the journey home for the soul, the film is shot in a subtle cinematic style.
