Thich Nhat Hanh experienced the ravages of war in his own young life in Vietnam and then worked his whole life to end wars everywhere by teaching a way to peace. This biographical documentary of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh is 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 film’s release on April 2, 2022 coincides with the release by his students of an Open Letter calling for peace and an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine.

what is so inspiring is the clarity in which he speaks about life. He talks gently and yet the words are so clear one can see through the depths of its meaning and walk the path to become this clarity. Thick Nhat Hanh is probably the most influential educator for my own life. Thank you!
