The Ashram: VIDEOS

THE ASHRAM - Los Angeles Premiere April 15, 2018, 3:30pm Buy Tickets: http://ow.ly/OrLG30j26uJ Ben Rekhi brings together a star-studded cast for a story of mystical intrigue in the Himalayas with a twisty plot and startling climax that is sure to provoke discussion. Following the trail of his missing ex-girlfriend, Jamie (Sam Keeley) discovers a remote monastery in the mountains founded by a guru with allegedly miraculous powers. As Jamie tries to pry secrets from the guru’s devoted acolytes (played by Kal Penn, Radhika Apte, and Oscar-winner Melissa Leo) he becomes more convinced that they know more about his lover’s disappearance than they’re telling him. While employing the conventions of the religious cult thriller, Rekhi raises philosophical and metaphysical questions about the inherent corruption of those who seek power, even to do good, and the miracles of mindfulness. THE ASHRAM is preceded by a screening of Manish Dayal’s short film FIFTEEN YEARS LATER For more information: http://indianfilmfestival.org/ FOLLOW US Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/indianfilmfestival Twitter: https://twitter.com/iffla Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/indianfilmfestival
