This movie portrays the early life and ongoing search for truth of one of Paramhansa Yogananda's closest direct disciples, Swami Kriyananda. The simplicity of life at that time, and the deeply moving first contact that Don Walters (later known as Swami Kriyananda) had with his guru, are real and deeply touching. They show the subtle experience of a disciple meeting his guru in this lifetime. Some reviews written about the movie expressing the lack of sophistication of acting, and phony smiles, etc., are missing the point. It was a simpler time in the late 1940's and, in this case, the smiles are genuine. I highly recommend The Answer for those who are interested in watching a movie that portrays the soul's search for truth, and the finding of it at his guru's ashram in the middle of Los Angeles!
