The hit film on Srila Prabhupada’s life, HARE KRISHNA! The Mantra, the Movement and the Swami who started it all opens in 20 cities in Italy starting Jan. 23 and running through March 15. There is the possibility of releasing the film in up to 100 cities throughout the country if it continues to draw crowds. 

It all started when Mukundananda  Das from Rome expressed keen interest in bringing the movie to Italy and he got encouraged to find a distributor. On his return to Rome, he made an announcement during the temple Sunday feast program asking if anyone had contacts at a film distribution company. One woman raised her hand and said she had a contact at Mescalito Film.  

Mukundananda visited the company with a DVD, played the film and Prabhupada’s life story immediately caught their interest. 

The filmmakers at Inner Voice Productions are thrilled to see the film finally come to Italy.

Here is what CultureTrip.com says about Italy:

“Italy is famous for its huge contributions to the worlds of art, architecture, fashion, opera, literature, fast cars, design, and film – the list goes on, and we haven’t even mentioned the food yet.”

In addition, Italians love singing and dancing. How could they not fall in love with Srila Prabhupada who gave the world such a joyous and profound culture?
