What People are Saying about the Film....
"...a searching examination of the eternal question of human suffering."
~Palle Yourgrau, Chair of Philosophy, Brandeis Univ.
"...more than an insightful and beautifully crafted documentary...the film invites serious reflection on some of the most important and intractable elements of the human condition. I recommend it highly."
~Dr. Vance G. Morgan, Prof of Philosophy, Providence College
"...this is a film for all those who question deeply and who realize that life, especially when perplexing, demands attention and generosity."
~The Rev. Dr. E. O. Springsted, President, American Weil Society
"...a penetrating, provocative meditation on a lamentably little known activist and mystic."
~Kenneth R. Morefield, Prof of English Literature, Campbell Univ
