This extraordinary documentary takes viewers into India's largest prison - known as one of the toughest in the world - and shows the dramatic change brought about by the introduction of Vipassana Meditation. This is the story of a strong woman named Kiran Bedi, the former Inspector General of Prisons in New Delhi, and how she strove to transform the notorious Tihar Prison, once a hellhole of crime, into an oasis of peace. It is a story of an ancient meditation technique, Vipassana, which helps people to take control of their lives and channel them towards their own good and the good of others. But most of all, it is the story of the prison inmates who underwent profound change and realized that incarceration can be the beginning of a new life. Produced & Directed by Ayelet Menahemi and Eilona Ariel, Karuna Films, Ltd. For more information on the ITVS Documentary Series, click here
