Right Livelihood: A Journey to Here is a fascinating documentary that dives into the often-overlooked world of spiritual care in a place like Rikers Island. You’ve got Justin Von Bujdoss, a Buddhist Chaplain, navigating a tough environment where meditation seems almost out of place. The tone is both contemplative and raw, showcasing the stark contrasts between the chaos of prison life and the calm he tries to introduce. It’s a slow burn but in a good way; you really feel the weight of each interaction. The film highlights themes of redemption and the human capacity for change – both for the inmates and the correction officers. It’s that unique blend of compassion and reality that sets it apart from typical prison narratives.
