The Soul of Kalaupapa is a compelling and timely documentary that beautifully portrays a deep interfaith friendship and cross-faith community building between Catholics, Protestants and Latter-day Saints in their leprosy settlement on the Hawaiian island of Molokai. It looks closely at the work of Saint Damien and a Hawaiian Mormon, Jonathan Napela with the patients at the settlement. Kalaupapa serves as a model of the Latin maxim: “In the essentials; unity, the non-essentials, liberty; and in all things, charity.”
Following the 45 minute documentary, Prof Woods will tell the story behind the story and hold a Q & A.
Produced by Dr Fred Woods, the Richard L. Evans Chair Professor of Religious Understanding at Brigham Young University. Fred, a native of Southern California, completed his Ph.D. at the University of Utah in Middle East Studies (with an emphasis in Hebrew Bible) has been a professor at BYU since 1998. He was appointed as a Richard L. Evans Chair in 2005. Fred and his wife JoAnna are the parents of five children and two granddaughters.
BUMP - The Show is a provocative new web series from Yellow Line Studio that follows the stories of three women facing unintended pregnancies.
Conflicted army wife Katie Donahue (Christina Schlapprizzi), fame-seeking sorority girl Hailey Kirsch (Lyndsey Doolen), and free-spirited mother of two Denise Jensen (Isabelle Giroux) have just one thing in common. They're all expecting...unexpectedly. Each woman has her own reasons for accepting a reality show producer's invitation to chronicle the very personal journey toward a decision about her pregnancy; but no one, including their physician, Dr. Patterson (Andray Johnson), is prepared for what happens when the cameras start rolling.
BUMP - The Experiment is an attempt to see if story can succeed where nearly four decades of rhetoric and political posturing have failed. Inspired by President Obama's call to people on both sides of the abortion debate to open the lines of communication and find workable solutions to the problem of unintended pregnancies, Yellow Line Studio is starting that conversation inside the safety zone of a fictional world based on real life situations.
