The Lotus Farmer

In the East, the lotus flower symbolizes the transformation of one's soul, one's journey and the rising of one's inner being. In "The Lotus Farmer," hairdresser George delivers ancient teachings to a group of women from profoundly different cultures and belief systems who meet weekly at his beauty salon. We watch them rise and fall as they encounter or avoid life's challenges: love, success, aloneness, addiction, depression, family violence, forgiveness, courage, compassion, leadership and more. In time, as they absorb what George has to share, they recognize their possibilities and discover that rising to be the best one can be as a human supersedes all their differences.
