Becoming Nobody

Becoming Nobody is a doorway to Ram Dass' life and teachings. His ability to entertain and his sense of humor is captured by filmmakers as they address the vast question of ultimate freedom.

Ram Dass is more than some 1960’s Harvard psychologist turned hippie.

Delving into Ram Dass’ experiences as a scion of an eminent Jewish family back in Boston, rock-star Harvard psychologist, counter-culture psychedelic adventurer, spiritual teacher, stroke survivor, and compassionate caregiver, this inspiring documentary offers a comprehensive portrait of his life.
