Key to Freedom: A short documentary about Venerable Robina Courtin's life and prison work (2007)

Venerable Robina Courtin, an Australian-born Buddhist nun with a powerhouse personality, believes she has the key to freedom for some of the toughest criminals in the land. No bars are worse than the prison of one's own mind, she argues. Drawing on Buddhist teachings she founded the Liberation Prison Project to help transform prisoners' lives so they can cope with incarceration and deal with the fundamental reasons they turned to crime. Compass follows Robina Courtin as she visits inmates at Long Bay and Junee prisons in New South Wales, Australia. Along the way we trace her own story and examine her philosophy. Broadcast on ABC National Radio's Compass program in 2007 and hosted by Geraldine Doogue.
