What Awake: The Life of Yogananda Is About
Paramahansa Yogananda came from India to America in 1920 and became one of the first to carry yoga and meditation to the West. The book he wrote, Autobiography of a Yogi, was read across generations and became a bedside book for many people, from George Harrison to Steve Jobs. Directed together by Paola di Florio and Lisa Leeman, the documentary does not build a straight biography; it mixes archive, staged sequences and interviews. Ravi Shankar, George Harrison and Yogananda's own disciples speak in it. The film was made on commission from the fellowship Yogananda founded, which sets a limit on how much distance its view can keep. That is worth knowing while watching.
