Produced by New Group Media
When Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans in 2005, six Catholic communities of Sisters lost more than convents, chapels, cars and motherhouses. They also lost ministries that served the families of New Orleans through their high schools, daycare sites, community centers and
senior nursing home facilities. The Sisters faced a soul-size dilemma: To remain and rebuild---or to walk away. Mindful of their long New Orleans legacies and the massive needs surrounding them, they chose to stay---and to continue their service in the city they love.

Presented by the National Council of Churches USA; Produced by Eastern Mennonite University
Weaving Life tells how Dan Terry, a United Methodist who worked with numerous Mennonites through the years, wove relationships, joy, partnership, and understanding into his lifelong work in Afghanistan. Terry, 64, was among 10 humanitarian aid workers assassinated in Afghanistan in August 2010. Going against the grain of almost all conventional wisdom, the documentary shows how Terry set out to build bridges where “everyone else was blowing them up,” says production consultant and storyteller Jonathan Larson. “He spans the chasms of suspicion, religious hatred and outright warfare, with patient bonds of trust and openness.”
