LEAP is a new mainstream film about Radhananth Swami and one of his disciples, and the choices that they make on their journey of surrender to Krishna. It is an adventure into ISKCON and its world headquarters but also a film about religious experience in general. The film documents the story of Keshava Madhava Das, a Finnish tram driver and a disciple of Radhanath Swami.
With unprecedented access, LEAP charts the progress of Keshava over two years as he faces the challenges of reconciling his personal life. At the same time, the relationship of the Guru to his aspiring disciple is explored, as well as the Guru’s own personal and spiritual concerns.
By following the spiritual paths of Keshava and Radhanath Swami, we gain remarkable insight into one of the world’s most fascinating religions.
“It is an excellent film,” said Radha Mohan das, Communications Secretary of Bhaktivedanta Manor UK after viewing the premier of the film, “The camera work is creative, the footage is amazing and it’s great promotional material for ISKCON in general.”
