Walk With Me
Synopsis
With unprecedented access and filmed over three years in France and the USA, this intimate and meditative film reveals how this monastic community are transforming suffering within themselves and in those who they meet on their travels around the world.
Thich Nhat Hanh, the Vietnamese monk Martin Luther King Jr. nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, is one of the most popular Zen Buddhist teachers of all time, and is widely acknowledged for introducing the concept of mindfulness to the western world.
The film touches on the universal themes of belonging, love, loss, hope and death, relevant for not just Thich Nhat Hanh's monks and nuns but for us all.

Hello You is an autopsy of your reflection. This mirror has two sides: one that observes, and another that follows.

Here you are asked not to look at yourself, but at the lenses through which you look.
