Item Description
Winner of three Silver Tellys: Religious/Spiritual category, Music, and Videography Produced by Loyola Productions Munich and Hope Media.
Every November an interfaith retreat is held at the notorious Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps in Poland, where more than 1 million people, nearly all of them European Jews, were exterminated by the Nazis. Why would someone participate in such a retreat? How could anyone attempt to pray or meditate in a place where crimes were committed that silence the heart and chill the soul?
Filmed over a period of seven days, this is the story of five retreatants—among them a Rabbi, an atheist, and a Catholic priest—and how they come face-to-face not only with their own vulnerabilities and complicity but new strength, peace, and glimmers of hope.
In Spite of Darkness offers viewers a life-changing experience.
