The Answer’ tells the powerful true story of an American, James Donald Walters. The film portrays his youthful quest for truth, which took him from his birthplace in Romania, to Switzerland and England, as far as the United States, where in 1948 in Hollywood, California he has the extraordinary meeting with Paramhansa Yogananda, the great Indian Master, author of ‘Autobiography of a Yogi'. Young Donald - later Swami Kriyananda - is immediately accepted as disciple and so his amazing spiritual journey begins.
