I've only found 3 reviews, fairly mixed...

Is there anybody out there who's seen it?

It was interesting and actually quite moving. The criminals actually seemed remorseful and as if they had some sort of epiphany in those 10 days. I found the interviews with the family members heart-wrenching as it shed some light on who these criminals were before they committed these heinous crimes and how their behavior had this ripple effect on the people who loved them. It was an objective portrayal of men who did terrible things. The filmmakers do not judge which therefore made it easy for me not to.

People are often unaware of what happens when you start meditating (I'll limit myself to Vipassana here). It's wrong to thing you get calm and inner peace. That's far off. Firstly, thing you have done come pouring back. Some people find it too upsetting. Only when you start to understand what you have done and why, and when you come to terms with that, you can start a long road to inner peace. Of course, the meditation itself is just a part. You need to understand Buddha's laws of nature and their effect on your life. Just to meditate is not enough. It's like washing your hands without water.

I think that it probably differs from person to person.

I'm very interested in seeing this, but unfortunately it's not available to purchase (at a reasonable price). It can be bought from the filmmaker directly though.

Again, very interested to see it!
