Is meditation about inner transformation or outer transformation? Apparently both. This film showcases an experiment done in 1993 when 4,000 people came to Washington D.C. to meditate on the conviction it would alleviate violent crime. Supporters afterward said the capital's rate of violent crime dropped 25 percent, a dip comparable to what has been seen elsewhere when focused meditation takes place. Prisons and schools around the world are employing similar techniques, using meditation to help individuals surmount obstacles.
