CHASING BUDDHA
by Amiel Courtin-Wilson
A hard-edged, kindhearted, former feminist street drifter and left wing activist, the director of this film is now a Tibetan Buddhist nun who works with addicts, misfits and prisoners. Venerable Robina is founder and executive director of the Liberation Prison Project. Chasing Buddha is a vibrant and kinetic work by a then teenage Amiel Courtin-Wilson, her nephew. (2000, 52 min)
