Meetings With Remarkable Men
The story of G. I. Gurdjieff and his travels to achieve enlightenment and inner growth, based on his book by the same name. Beginning with his childhood, the movie follows his journeys through Central Asia as he discovers new levels of spirituality through music, dance and near-encounters with death. As a young man exploring ancient ruins, Gurdjieff discovers scrolls confirming the existence of a hidden brotherhood long thought to be extinct. He begins a search that leads through unforeseeable hazards and finally to a school where he learns to bring together all the principles of an esoteric teaching.

In the twentieth century G. I. Gurdjieff introduced to the world a spiritual teaching of vast magnitude, at one and the same time profoundly original and yet deeply faithful to the roots of ancient Tradition. Uniquely collected in this volume, here are the voices of men and women who have sought to live this teaching, most of whom were directly guided by its spiritual founder, G. I. Gurdjieff. These individuals also lived and are living amid the forces and challenges of modern life. It is in fact this “Work in life” that is among the highest aims of the Gurdjieff teaching – the struggle, whatever the conditions of our lives, to awaken to the gift that descends from above.
