In the Spring of 1968, Paul Saltzman travelled to India to study transcendental meditation at the same ashram where the Beatles were guests of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Saltzman spent a week with the band during a pivotal moment as they wrote songs for the forthcoming The Beatles (aka The White Album). Interpersonal tensions were surfacing that would soon tear the group apart. Saltzman, an award-winning Toronto-based director/ producer, returns to India to reflect on the impact of those remarkable days on his own life and those of the Beatles themselves.
