Filmmaker Mickey Lemle - who has known Ram Dass for more than twenty-five years, intersperses vivid, often hilariously funny archival footage from the hippie era with intimate glimpses of Ram Dass today, as he remakes his life after suffering a stroke five years ago, a process he calls "fierce grace." Named by Newsweek as one of the Top Five Non-Fiction Films of 2002, Ram Dass: Fierce Grace is an engrossing poignant meditation on spirituality, consciousness, healing and the unexpected grace of aging.
