Life Issues

Filmed on locations around the world

This series features six documentaries filmed by Hallel on locations around the world. The programs offer images, and sounds of war in the Middle East and Central America, faces of refugees hungry for bread and love, unknown heroes from America in Korea and Thailand, the ravages of stripmining in Appalachia, gestures of joyful celebration and a spiritual portrait of Mother Teresa of Calcutta. The result is not just another series of talking heads but compelling documentaries on contemporary topics with striking visual impact. These real-life portraits will enrich viewers personally as well as provide common experiences for group discussion.
