ITALY, INDIA, NETHERLANDS 77 MIN, 2025
WORLD PREMIERE
ABOUT
Ten thousand Sidhas, experts in advanced techniques of Transcendental Meditation and Yogic flying, gather in India to generate, through long sessions of group practice, the “Maharishi Effect.”
Reduction of crime and violence, lowering international tensions and improving the quality of life in society are the global effects when the minimum threshold of 10,000 meditators is reached.
A kind of magic? Or a new scientific paradigm?
The main characters in this choral story are meditators, teachers, scientists, leaders of the Transcendental Meditation Organization and some of its great supporters such as filmmaker David Lynch.DIRECTOR
