A new documentary about the legendary spiritual teacher Ram Dass is opening at the Rubin Museum (New York), the Laemmle Royal (Los Angeles), and theaters in the Bay Area, on September 6, 2019.

Becoming Nobody represents the core arc of Ram Dass’ teachings and life: through his turns as a rock-star Harvard psychologist, counter-culture rascally adventurer, Eastern holy man, stroke survivor and compassionate caregiver, Ram Dass has worn many hats on his journey, the narrative of which is revealed in this film. His ability to entertain and his sense of humor are abundantly evident in a conversation that brings us around to address the vast question of ultimate freedom. In Becoming Nobody, historic clips balance an engaging conversation with director Jamie Catto. The film captures a loving man full of joy, wit, honesty and wisdom, at ease in conversation while sharing his considerable pains and pleasures. The life experiences that have freed him from the attachments of his ‘somebody-ness’ have transformed him into the radiant soul who now inspires a new generation.A new documentary about the legendary spiritual teacher Ram Dass is opening at the Rubin Museum (New York), the Laemmle Royal (Los Angeles), and theaters in the Bay Area, on September 6, 2019.
