A feature-length documentary, exploring the growing musical and social phenomenon of chanting, "MANTRA - Sounds into Silence" shares the stories of people who are finding healing and a sense of inner peace by singing mantras together. It’s a film about spirituality, not religion, about people reconnecting with their true selves and with others.

As our characters’ stories about their connection to the music unfold, we meet the musicians who have inspired them and brought them together. Through these encounters, we will discover how the artists themselves came to this music and to the practice of Kirtan*, and how, over the years, it transformed their lives too.

* Kirtan is a participatory, call-and-response form of singing that is becoming increasingly popular throughout the world as westerners discover its uplifting and healing effects. It is not in any way religious but many do describe it as spiritual. At a Kirtan event, the lines between musician and audience are blurred: the audience members play a vital role in the music through their singing in response to the "call" of the artist. It is now so popular that several artists have been nominated for, and won Grammies.
