Noah Levine teaches: Practice as Rebellion
[edit] Blurb
MEDITATE AND DESTROY is a one-hour long documentary that will provide an intimate portrait of Noah Levine, a Buddhist meditation teacher who uses his personal experience and punk rocker sensibilities to teach meditation in juvenile halls, high security prisons, and urban centers around the country. After a self-destructive adolescence of criminal activity and substance abuse, Noah now follows and shows others a path of spirituality and community service. Noah has a familiar counter-culture appearance -- his arms are fully tattooed and wears black t-shirts of his favorite bands. It seems a strange juxtaposition, however, to discover he is both a punk rocker and a devout Buddhist.
MEDITATE AND DESTROY will fill a void in the media by exploring how the younger generations in America-- sometimes characterized as apathetic and self-involved-- are finding a positive way to channel rebellion and dissatisfaction. Through the story of Noah Levine, our film will help raise an important discussion on the meaning of spirituality among today's youth, personal identity, the punk rock ethos, and addiction recovery. We will meet Noah's students and friends through both candid interviews and cinema-verite style scenes. Through our candid portrait of Noah's full-fledged recovery, viewers will see the possibilities of personal transformation.[1]
