Meditate and Destroy (2007)
Wonderful Film!
This powerful, moving documentary traces Noah Levine's harrowing journey from wasted youth to deeply spiritual man. As detailed in his autobiography Dharma Punx, Noah found the strength to overcome a perilously troubled adolescence marred by multiple incarcerations. The film brilliantly explores his transformation, combining interviews with his parents, friends, followers and teachers with footage of both his dissolute punk days as well as his serene adult life. The film does the power of his story justice, encompassing both the grisly details of his nadir as well as the intensity of his dedication to the Buddhist practice. MEDITATE AND DESTROY draws great strength from Noah's narration, as he draws us in with palpable wisdom, honesty, and compassion. This is a real story: invigorating, engrossing, and inspiring.
