MIM Movie Review

This is an archive of the former website of the Maoist Internationalist Movement, which was run by the now defunct Maoist Internationalist Party - Amerika. The MIM now consists of many independent cells, many of which have their own indendendent organs both online and off. MIM(Prisons) serves these documents as a service to and reference for the anti-imperialist movement worldwide.

   Doing Time, Doing Vipassana

   A 50 minute documentary about the introduction of a program of
   Vipassana Mediation courses in Tihar Jail New Delhi. Tihar is maximum
   security, but an accused pickpocket can spend 6 years there waiting to
   get a 1 year sentence. Vipassana's response to this injustice? Don't
   think about it, but concentrate on yourself, how you hurt society,
   and seek forgiveness. The introduction of Vipassana mediation into
   prisons is a thick liberal veneer over a terribly reactionary core
   of perpetuating this system.
