May the benefit of our practice be for the benefit of all beings, ancestors and descendants
ABOUT THE FILM
PARAMITA is a poetic personal documentary bearing testament to the story of Prajna Paramita Choudhury, a South Asian queer woman, as she comes out to her family, and steps onto a Buddhist spiritual path that guides her as an activist and healer. Prajna Paramita’s story mirrors the living questions: How do we honor and find bridges to our cultural traditions when our families reject our romantic (queer) love and livelihood choices? How can we take our place in a white-centering American system that teaches us to experience our own ancestral wisdom through a colonized lens? And what does resistance look like when guided by spirit? We walk with Prajna Paramita as she claims her own queer brown body and experiences, finding her way towards a space of collective healing and vow of co-liberation.
