Changing Minds: A Documentary

Says You: Your reaction to a powerful pro-life documentary

Have you seen “180”?

That’s the pro-life video featuring man-on-the-street interviews with people who style themselves “pro-choice.”

By the end of their conversation with evangelist Ray Comfort, however, they profess to have changed their minds.

I won’t embed the film here, as it contains very graphic images from the Holocaust, but I invite you to watch it at this link and then return to share your reaction.

Of course share freely, but here are some questions to get the ball rolling.

Did anything surprise you? (What surprises me most is the number of people in it who profess to have no idea who Hitler was—not even whether he was a good or bad person.)

What do you make of the overall approach? Is this kind of street evangelization something we need more of?

Do you find the “conversions” convincing—that is, will they last?


The Catholicism Project

Wow!

“Join Fr. Robert Barron on a journey across the planet and deep into the faith. CATHOLICISM is a breakthrough documentary series presenting the true story of Christianity and the Catholic faith.”

Blood Money

new documentary exposes Planned Parenthood

Have you heard of the documentary “Blood Money”?

It’s about the abortion industry, particularly Planned Parenthood.

Here’s the trailer. (Warning: fleeting graphic images)

The film has no distributor yet, but is hoping publicity will find it one. If you’d like to register support for this effort and be kept abreast of the film’s progress, you can sign up here.


Test of Faith

Test of Faith is an interesting project out of Cambridge University to promote greater understanding between the worlds of science and faith. Here’s the trailer for what looks like an interesting documentary.
