...explores Jainism by showing the interrelationship between all four elements of the "Sangh" or community of monks, nuns, laymen. Set in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, the film first establishes the central religious tenets of the religion, impure actions prevent the soul from achieving Liberation, and Liberation can only be achieved by practicing ahimsa [non-violence]. We then explore the implications of these assumptions for each element of the Jain community.
