With the current state of our planet being filled with nothing but misfortune and misery, it’s the perfect time for a film such as this one to be gifted to the world. Walk with Me takes you on a cinematic journey into the world of mindfulness and into the life of Zen Buddhist teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh.
Written and directed by Marc J. Francis and Max Pugh and narrated by the distinctive voice of Benedict Cumberbatch, this film, which took 3 years to make, is beautifully shot and carefully pieces together the meaning of peace and tranquillity with some sublime visual storytelling. It’s a stunning gesture to the monks and nuns at Plum Village in rural France where these Buddhists reside, and a joy for the audience.
At first the pace is slow with nothing but scenes of trees and people walking, yet it’s intimate and highly thought-provoking.
