Meeting The Beatles in India Documentary - BLU-RAY

“Paul Saltzman’s photos of all of us in India, in 1968, are absolutely beautiful. The photo of John, finger to his ear, is the best picture I’ve ever seen of John Lennon from the Beatles’ era - it speaks volumes.” 
- Cynthia Lennon

In 1968, with the eyes of the world upon them, The Beatles traveled to Rishikesh, India, to study transcendental meditation with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Those few short weeks became one of the most prolific and creative periods of their lives, as they wrote 48 songs in approximately 48 days. 

In this serene documentary Paul Saltzman, a Canadian filmmaker recounts a spiritual journey for the ages. Narrated by Morgan

Freeman, Saltzman weaves together archival material, including some stills and film footage never before seen by the public; along with interviews with long-time practitioner of transcendental meditation, film director David Lynch; Pattie Boyd; Jenny Boyd; pre-eminent Beatles historian, Mark Lewisohn; Lewis Lapham; film composer Laurence Rosenthal, Hariprasad Chaurasia; and the real ‘Bungalow Bill’.

Along with his own personal memories, Saltzman creates a magical mystery tour of one of the most important and influential cultural events of the 20th century and reveals how vital the exploration of our own inner self is, not only for artists of all generations but also for each and every one of us.
