A Cloud Never Dies

A new biographical documentary of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh narrated by actor Peter Coyote, “A Cloud Never Dies” weaves together original film and photographic archives, telling the story of a humble young Vietnamese monk and poet whose wisdom and compassion were forged in the suffering of war. In the face of violence, fear, and discrimination, Thich Nhat Hanh’s courageous path of engaged action reveals how insight, community, and a deep aspiration to serve the world can offer hope, peace, and a way forward for millions. The United Nations chose his code of global ethics, the Five Mindfulness Trainings—as the foundation for a non-sectarian ethical path for humanity. A 15-minute silent meditation precedes the screening, and a sharing session with one of the film’s writers follows.
