About the Program:

Who knew that going to the movies could be as spiritual as attending a church service! Mary Ann Brussat says that if you follow her guidelines on experiencing and judging a movie, you'll leave the cinema inspired, and better connected to the human family. And she isn't talking about such standards as The 10 Commandments or The Passion of the Christ. Brussat finds God in films like American Beauty, West Beirut, and Finding Nemo.
