Gene Siskel Film Center says…

It's difficult to imagine a Buddhist meditation retreat in a maximum-security prison, but at Donaldson Correctional Facility in Alabama, that's exactly what has popped up. In 2002, 36 of the state's most dangerous criminals participated in a ten-day program of silent meditation, during which they engaged in self-transformation and self-observation. Compelling and thought-provoking, The Dhamma Brothers documents this time and reveals the benefits of seeking inner truths and going beyond external realities.
