A brief synopsis of the film

An investigative reporter (Elisabeth Rohm, Law & Order, Oscar-nominated American Hustle) is sent, not too willingly, to report on a spiritual community in California. What she finds surprises her, and gradually changes her life. Filmed on location in Ananda communities in California, Italy, and India, this is a true story of real people who are living sustainable, harmonious lives — based on ideals that can help us find happiness as well, wherever we may live. (Finalist Moondance Film Festival)

Asha is among other long-time residents of the Ananda intentional interviewed in this film. She describes the death of a close friend, Paula, not only her spirit of acceptance and love, but how she touched those who spent the final few weeks at her bedside.
