Richard Alpert, after being expelled from Harvard in 1963 for experimenting with LSD, morphed into Ram Dass, a serious and much loved spiritual leader, author and lecturer. This film visits Ram Dass in 2001 as he remakes his life since suffering a stroke five years ago. Balances fascinating, often hilarious footage from the hippie era with contemporary material and interviews with Ram Dass and his associates.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

A documentary that will stick with you for days submitted by cmeyer1121 on November 2, 2019, 10:15pm Tear-jerker, but this is a documentary that everyone should watch. Ram Dass gives a lesson in change and why we should all embrace it - because it's inevitable. We all age and our bodies will fail us. Learning to be ok with this is one of the most difficult life lessons to learn.
