Description
Walk With Me by Marc J. Francis and Max Pugh enters Plum Village and the monastic world shaped by Thich Nhat Hanh, where mindfulness is practiced through silence, routine, labor, and shared presence rather than explained as a self-help method. Filmed over several years with unusual access, it moves at the pace of the community itself, letting attention settle on breathing, listening, and daily discipline. The result feels less like a profile of one teacher than time spent inside a way of living.

About the Director / Filmmaker
Marc J. Francis and Max Pugh, co-directors and co-producers, arrived at documentary from different but complementary traditions. Francis co-founded Speakit and built a body of work around politically and economically charged international nonfiction, including Black Gold and When China Met Africa. Pugh moves more fluidly between documentary, fiction, and art collaborations, with projects involving Michael Nyman. Their shared work carries both journalistic range and a strong visual temperament.

Who It’s Best For
People drawn to contemplative practice, monastic rhythm, and the lived texture of mindfulness will get the most from this. It also reaches viewers more interested in presence as a way of living than in self-help tips or productivity language.

Approach
Observation and atmosphere do most of the work, with monastic routine and voiceover reflections replacing conventional explanatory structure. Immersion, repetition, and silence carry more weight here than explicit thesis-building or debate.
