Are We One (2024) directed by Dónal Ó Céillrachair. This spiritual biography follows the path of faith walked by Robert Kennedy, Jesuit priest and Zen priest both. We see the dharma transmitted through his three teachers—Yamada Roshi, Maezumi Roshi, and Glassman Roshi—to him, and, through his practice and work as Roshi (Zen Master), to his successors. The controversy of his installation, especially in the world of American Zen, is also touched upon. I sensed much suffering in his life, but also his moving with and through it; living his life, being himself. This is an inspiring story of one person's life and the interconnectedness and influence upon those around him.
Viewed as the January 2026 selection of the Tricycle Film Club.
