SunSeed (1974) is a groundbreaking documentary that captured the spirit of a transformative era. Released during the heart of the ’70s counterculture, it explores the spiritual awakening that swept through the youth of that generation. Directed by Mr. Amertat Cohn, the film serves as a powerful snapshot of a time when young people sought deeper meaning and connection beyond traditional structures.
The film takes viewers on a visual and philosophical journey through the new spiritual movements of the time, blending insightful interviews with prominent spiritual leaders such as Ram Dass, Roshi Suzuki, Swami Satchidananda, Pir Vilayat Khan, Sufi Samuel Lewis, and Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, among others. These figures were pivotal in guiding a generation toward spiritual awakening, meditation, yoga, and a profound connection to the universe.
