Government and the Ultimate Purpose of Life
Session
10:45:00 - 11:10:00
G 25m "Government and the Ultimate Purpose of Life" emphasizes that government should have a minimal role in individuals' lives, allowing them the freedom to pursue their own dreams and purpose. The ideal government operates quietly, akin to a utility company—only noticed when things go wrong. The true focus of personal purpose and fulfillment, according to this view, lies in God, family, and community rather than in the promises of any government. The lecture warns against governments that promise utopian ideals, arguing that such promises often lead to authoritarian control. Utopian systems like the French Revolution and totalitarian regimes in history demonstrate the dangers of placing too much faith in government to solve human challenges. Ultimately, the purpose of government, from a Christian worldview, is to provide a framework where people can live peaceful, quiet lives without interference. True utopia, it suggests, is found only in faith, not politics.

PG 59m The filmmaker, Stuart Lachlan Bennett, will be present for a Q&A following the screening. Barnabas and Paul is a film with a new perspective on the spread of early Christianity. The Apostle Paul is known as a pillar of the early church, but the key to his success was Barnabas. After his conversion, Saul’s ministry was limited until Barnabas invited him to help with the church in Antioch, changing everything for Saul and the spread of Christianity. Their joint ministry became incredibly powerful as God used their backgrounds to open doors to share the Gospel. But the relationship between the two evangelists didn’t last and they eventually parted ways. This film explores the most credible facts about Barnabas’s life by investigating religious traditions, meeting with historical and Biblical experts, and visiting many of the geographical sites important to his story. Join our journey to discover God’s plan to reach the nations by using two men from different cultural backgrounds.

Session
11:45:00 - 13:40:00
G 1h 52m Kansas City is known for its jazz and blues. But the same forces that shaped those American art forms also led to the development of Black Gospel music. The rich and influential history of Black Gospel music in Kansas City, MO and Kansas City, KS has long been overlooked. In fact, historians say gospel music may be the best window through which to view the development of the Black community in and around Kansas City, MO, and its roots in pre-Civil War Kansas. The film explores this compelling legacy: featuring the music and the stories of the region's pioneering greats. Interviews with historians and scholars reveal a musical and cultural history never presented before. The film shows how the region's gospel legends played key roles in developing gospel music nationally and, further, ushering African American musical traditions into the nation's mainstream culture and entertainment industry. The film explores the importance of Free State Kansas, where slaves fled from Missouri and where thousands of Exodusters trekked north after the failure of Reconstruction in the South. Also explored is the musical legacy of Western University, the first Black college west of the Mississippi River, and how gospel music mixed with the burgeoning jazz scene at 18th & Vine to create Kansas City's distinctive gospel swing. As historian and blues performer Lemuel Sheppard explains it, something about this region "encouraged Black intellect, Black culture and Black art." The film is a journey of discovery, leading viewers through the development of gospel music to a place of better understanding of Black history, and the significant impact played by events in the Midwest. It is, in essence, a cultural archive, preserving the heritage of the region's Black gospel music and its remarkable artists. More than 100 interviews were conducted with Black studies professors, archivists, historians, musicologists, ministers, choral directors, performers and authors. Featured experts include Anthony Heilbut, Robert Marovich, Randal Jelks, Jessie Carney Smith, Katherine Karlin, William Worley, James Boyer, Chuck Haddix, Lemuel Sheppard and Charles Coulson.

Once across the notoriously porous 1,000-mile frontier, most are sold into the sex industry, forced into domestic servitude or subjected to organ and skin harvesting. This border has become one of the world's most prolific human trafficking routes. Amidst international indifference, one Nepali woman, Shanta Sapkota, has taken a courageous stand to combat this humanitarian crisis. Driven by heartbreak and a fierce determination, she leads a team of female anti-human trafficking operatives at the Mahendranagar crossing, a critical checkpoint where the fate of many young lives hangs in the balance. This exclusively nonwhite, female-led documentary takes the audience deep into the heart of this mission. Through the eyes of rescuers, victims, and traffickers, we witness the raw emotions, heart-wrenching struggles, and moments of triumph that define this battle against human trafficking. At its core, She Walks a Line is a story of empowerment—of women fighting for justice, of traffickers manipulating the vulnerable, and of a divine calling that has inspired one woman to stand her ground in the face of adversity. This film not only tells a story; it ignites a movement.
Sharing Aloha
Session

It’s a backstage, unscripted exploration of what it means for young Pacific Islanders to preserve and pass on the culture of their ancestors even as the winds of Hawaiian tourism (both over-tourism, and the pushback against it) shift and change, potentially threatening the foundation upon which they stand — and dance, chant and (sometimes nail-bitingly) perform. It follows characters each standing at a crossroads: a young dancer struggling with his body image... another walking the razor-fine line between family obligations and performance expectations... and a star performer who’s trying to prove to his parents that he’s not a failure after all. “Sharing Aloha” explores what it means to seek out your place in the world when one audition determines the role you’ll play in determining how — and if — you and your culture are seen at all.

We observe how his sores grow until he cannot lean back due to the pain. We are there as his friends cook for him, build him a bed, and pull maggots out of his sores. We are there as he wrestles within himself. What should they do about his suffering? Should they still believe in a miracle? If there is a God, how can He even allow something like this to happen? What sense does all the suffering even have? Philipp Mickenbecker let the filmmakers into his life to document a miracle. The result is a film about the meaning of suffering.

The Lost Healer is a fantasy allegory that reflects biblical themes through its narrative, in the vein of Narnia or Pilgrim's Progress. Each character represents a different stage of the faith journey: the faithful follower who acts bravely on their belief and inspires others, even when persecution arises (Matthew 5:14-16); the conformed believer who struggles with doubt and is afraid to commit fully to their beliefs (Romans 12:2); and the seeker who, while not yet a follower, is increasingly open to exploring the truth (Mark 12:34). The intention is for this first short film to serve as a proof of concept episode that will grow into an ongoing series. The overall narrative of the project is meant to reflect the long and often painful wait for Christ's return, showing how His followers are to conduct themselves in a lost and broken world.

Together with his twin brother, he leaps into frozen lakes, bolts chainsaws onto his ice skates, builds a submarine and a flying bathtub. And as he is told of his diagnosis with cancer, he smiles. His doctors give him no more than two months to live - and yet his fate doesn’t lie in their hands. Philipp had found God, and indeed a God who answers prayers and performs miracles. This God will certainly heal him. Philipp asked Him. We accompany Philipp during his last months. We fly with him to the Caribbean. We observe how his sores grow until he cannot lean back due to the pain. We are there as his friends cook for him, build him a bed, and pull maggots out of his sores. We are there as he wrestles within himself. What should they do about his suffering? Should they still believe in a miracle? If there is a God, how can He even allow something like this to happen? What sense does all the suffering even have? Philipp Mickenbecker let the filmmakers into his life to document a miracle. The result is a film about the meaning of suffering. And the intimate portrait of a community of friends who live according to their own values - and thus give Philipp's illness and death a meaning.

The Lost Healer

The Lost Healer is a fantasy allegory that reflects biblical themes through its narrative, in the vein of Narnia or Pilgrim's Progress. Each character represents a different stage of the faith journey: the faithful follower who acts bravely on their belief and inspires others, even when persecution arises (Matthew 5:14-16); the conformed believer who struggles with doubt and is afraid to commit fully to their beliefs (Romans 12:2); and the seeker who, while not yet a follower, is increasingly open to exploring the truth (Mark 12:34). The intention is for this first short film to serve as a proof of concept episode that will grow into an ongoing series. The overall narrative of the project is meant to reflect the long and often painful wait for Christ's return, showing how His followers are to conduct themselves in a lost and broken world.

I'm So Glad: Kansas City And The Roots Of Black Gospel Music, The Untold Story
Session
11:45:00 - 13:40:00
G 1h 52m Kansas City is known for its jazz and blues. But the same forces that shaped those American art forms also led to the development of Black Gospel music. The rich and influential history of Black Gospel music in Kansas City, MO and Kansas City, KS has long been overlooked. In fact, historians say gospel music may be the best window through which to view the development of the Black community in and around Kansas City, MO, and its roots in pre-Civil War Kansas. The film explores this compelling legacy: featuring the music and the stories of the region's pioneering greats. Interviews with historians and scholars reveal a musical and cultural history never presented before. The film shows how the region's gospel legends played key roles in developing gospel music nationally and, further, ushering African American musical traditions into the nation's mainstream culture and entertainment industry. The film explores the importance of Free State Kansas, where slaves fled from Missouri and where thousands of Exodusters trekked north after the failure of Reconstruction in the South. Also explored is the musical legacy of Western University, the first Black college west of the Mississippi River, and how gospel music mixed with the burgeoning jazz scene at 18th & Vine to create Kansas City's distinctive gospel swing. As historian and blues performer Lemuel Sheppard explains it, something about this region "encouraged Black intellect, Black culture and Black art." The film is a journey of discovery, leading viewers through the development of gospel music to a place of better understanding of Black history, and the significant impact played by events in the Midwest. It is, in essence, a cultural archive, preserving the heritage of the region's Black gospel music and its remarkable artists. More than 100 interviews were conducted with Black studies professors, archivists, historians, musicologists, ministers, choral directors, performers and authors. Featured experts include Anthony Heilbut, Robert Marovich, Randal Jelks, Jessie Carney Smith, Katherine Karlin, William Worley, James Boyer, Chuck Haddix, Lemuel Sheppard and Charles Coulson. Featured artists include Eva Jessye, Etta Moten, Nora Holt, Edward Boatner, Genetter Bradley, Alma Whitney, Michael Charles, Bennie Moten, Count Basie, Chrystal Rucker, Reggie Watkins, Charles Williams, Angela Ward, Asaph Ward, Bishop Cortez Vaughn and international Gospel Music Conductor Isaac Cates, who also narrates the film.
She Walks A Line

PG-13 1h 28m She Walks a Line is a gripping documentary that reveals the harrowing journey of thousands of young Nepali women and girls who are coerced across the border into India each year. Once across the notoriously porous 1,000-mile frontier, most are sold into the sex industry, forced into domestic servitude or subjected to organ and skin harvesting. This border has become one of the world's most prolific human trafficking routes. Amidst international indifference, one Nepali woman, Shanta Sapkota, has taken a courageous stand to combat this humanitarian crisis. Driven by heartbreak and a fierce determination, she leads a team of female anti-human trafficking operatives at the Mahendranagar crossing, a critical checkpoint where the fate of many young lives hangs in the balance. This exclusively nonwhite, female-led documentary takes the audience deep into the heart of this mission. Through the eyes of rescuers, victims, and traffickers, we witness the raw emotions, heart-wrenching struggles, and moments of triumph that define this battle against human trafficking. At its core, She Walks a Line is a story of empowerment—of women fighting for justice, of traffickers manipulating the vulnerable, and of a divine calling that has inspired one woman to stand her ground in the face of adversity. This film not only tells a story; it ignites a movement.
Sharing Aloha

It’s a backstage, unscripted exploration of what it means for young Pacific Islanders to preserve and pass on the culture of their ancestors even as the winds of Hawaiian tourism (both over-tourism, and the pushback against it) shift and change, potentially threatening the foundation upon which they stand — and dance, chant and (sometimes nail-bitingly) perform. It follows characters each standing at a crossroads: a young dancer struggling with his body image... another walking the razor-fine line between family obligations and performance expectations... and a star performer who’s trying to prove to his parents that he’s not a failure after all. “Sharing Aloha” explores what it means to seek out your place in the world when one audition determines the role you’ll play in determining how — and if — you and your culture are seen at all.

Government and the Ultimate Purpose of Life
Session
10:45:00 - 11:10:00
G 25m "Government and the Ultimate Purpose of Life" emphasizes that government should have a minimal role in individuals' lives, allowing them the freedom to pursue their own dreams and purpose. The ideal government operates quietly, akin to a utility company—only noticed when things go wrong. The true focus of personal purpose and fulfillment, according to this view, lies in God, family, and community rather than in the promises of any government. The lecture warns against governments that promise utopian ideals, arguing that such promises often lead to authoritarian control. Utopian systems like the French Revolution and totalitarian regimes in history demonstrate the dangers of placing too much faith in government to solve human challenges. Ultimately, the purpose of government, from a Christian worldview, is to provide a framework where people can live peaceful, quiet lives without interference. True utopia, it suggests, is found only in faith, not politics.

Returning from war as a hero, Vinicius stops at the residence of the retired General Plautius to rest, there, he sees and instantly falls in love with Lygia. A young Christian during the early emergence and persecution of Christians in Rome, Lygia lives by a high set of values and morals and can't fully give her heart to Vinicius until he too lives his life dedicated to good and love. Having to have Lygia, Vinicius enlists the help of his uncle Petronius, a former Governor and very influential member of Nero's high court to help him. Petronius himself is involved in a budding love that is transforming him towards good with his beautiful servant, Eunice. Petronius hatches a plan to get Lygia for Vinicius and speaks to Nero, convincing him to order Lygia to be brought to the palace as property of the Empire, with the eventual plan to have her then given to Vinicius as a present. At one of Nero's extravagant parties, a drunken Vinicius tries to seduce Lygia. Trying to resist his advances, Lygia is saved by her bodyguard Ursus and escapes to her Christian friends. Vinicius and Petronius enlist the Greek Chilo to investigate, eventually finding out about her Christian identity and location. While trying to raid the home where Lygia is staying, Vinicius is wounded and knocked unconscious by Ursus. When Vinicius returns to Petronius, he is a changed man, a believer and follower of good. A great fire breaks out in Rome, and although caused by Nero himself, he blames the Christians.

This God will certainly heal him. Philipp asked Him. We accompany Philipp during his last months. We fly with him to the Caribbean. We observe how his sores grow until he cannot lean back due to the pain. We are there as his friends cook for him, build him a bed, and pull maggots out of his sores. We are there as he wrestles within himself. What should they do about his suffering? Should they still believe in a miracle? If there is a God, how can He even allow something like this to happen? What sense does all the suffering even have? Philipp Mickenbecker let the filmmakers into his life to document a miracle. The result is a film about the meaning of suffering.

The Lost Healer

Each character represents a different stage of the faith journey: the faithful follower who acts bravely on their belief and inspires others, even when persecution arises (Matthew 5:14-16); the conformed believer who struggles with doubt and is afraid to commit fully to their beliefs (Romans 12:2); and the seeker who, while not yet a follower, is increasingly open to exploring the truth (Mark 12:34). The intention is for this first short film to serve as a proof of concept episode that will grow into an ongoing series. The overall narrative of the project is meant to reflect the long and often painful wait for Christ's return, showing how His followers are to conduct themselves in a lost and broken world.

Session
11:45:00 - 13:40:00
G 1h 52m Kansas City is known for its jazz and blues. But the same forces that shaped those American art forms also led to the development of Black Gospel music. The rich and influential history of Black Gospel music in Kansas City, MO and Kansas City, KS has long been overlooked. In fact, historians say gospel music may be the best window through which to view the development of the Black community in and around Kansas City, MO, and its roots in pre-Civil War Kansas. The film explores this compelling legacy: featuring the music and the stories of the region's pioneering greats. Interviews with historians and scholars reveal a musical and cultural history never presented before. The film shows how the region's gospel legends played key roles in developing gospel music nationally and, further, ushering African American musical traditions into the nation's mainstream culture and entertainment industry. The film explores the importance of Free State Kansas, where slaves fled from Missouri and where thousands of Exodusters trekked north after the failure of Reconstruction in the South. Also explored is the musical legacy of Western University, the first Black college west of the Mississippi River, and how gospel music mixed with the burgeoning jazz scene at 18th & Vine to create Kansas City's distinctive gospel swing. As historian and blues performer Lemuel Sheppard explains it, something about this region "encouraged Black intellect, Black culture and Black art." The film is a journey of discovery, leading viewers through the development of gospel music to a place of better understanding of Black history, and the significant impact played by events in the Midwest. It is, in essence, a cultural archive, preserving the heritage of the region's Black gospel music and its remarkable artists. More than 100 interviews were conducted with Black studies professors, archivists, historians, musicologists, ministers, choral directors, performers and authors. Featured experts include Anthony Heilbut, Robert Marovich, Randal Jelks, Jessie Carney Smith, Katherine Karlin, William Worley, James Boyer, Chuck Haddix, Lemuel Sheppard and Charles Coulson. Featured artists include Eva Jessye, Etta Moten, Nora Holt, Edward Boatner, Genetter Bradley, Alma Whitney, Michael Charles, Bennie Moten, Count Basie, Chrystal Rucker, Reggie Watkins, Charles Williams, Angela Ward, Asaph Ward, Bishop Cortez Vaughn and international Gospel Music Conductor Isaac Cates, who also narrates the film.
She Walks A Line
Session

PG-13 1h 28m She Walks a Line is a gripping documentary that reveals the harrowing journey of thousands of young Nepali women and girls who are coerced across the border into India each year. Once across the notoriously porous 1,000-mile frontier, most are sold into the sex industry, forced into domestic servitude or subjected to organ and skin harvesting. This border has become one of the world's most prolific human trafficking routes. Amidst international indifference, one Nepali woman, Shanta Sapkota, has taken a courageous stand to combat this humanitarian crisis. Driven by heartbreak and a fierce determination, she leads a team of female anti-human trafficking operatives at the Mahendranagar crossing, a critical checkpoint where the fate of many young lives hangs in the balance. This exclusively nonwhite, female-led documentary takes the audience deep into the heart of this mission. Through the eyes of rescuers, victims, and traffickers, we witness the raw emotions, heart-wrenching struggles, and moments of triumph that define this battle against human trafficking. At its core, She Walks a Line is a story of empowerment—of women fighting for justice, of traffickers manipulating the vulnerable, and of a divine calling that has inspired one woman to stand her ground in the face of adversity. This film not only tells a story; it ignites a movement.

It’s a backstage, unscripted exploration of what it means for young Pacific Islanders to preserve and pass on the culture of their ancestors even as the winds of Hawaiian tourism (both over-tourism, and the pushback against it) shift and change, potentially threatening the foundation upon which they stand — and dance, chant and (sometimes nail-bitingly) perform. It follows characters each standing at a crossroads: a young dancer struggling with his body image... another walking the razor-fine line between family obligations and performance expectations... and a star performer who’s trying to prove to his parents that he’s not a failure after all. “Sharing Aloha” explores what it means to seek out your place in the world when one audition determines the role you’ll play in determining how — and if — you and your culture are seen at all.

Government and the Ultimate Purpose of Life
Session
10:45:00 - 11:10:00
G 25m "Government and the Ultimate Purpose of Life" emphasizes that government should have a minimal role in individuals' lives, allowing them the freedom to pursue their own dreams and purpose. The ideal government operates quietly, akin to a utility company—only noticed when things go wrong. The true focus of personal purpose and fulfillment, according to this view, lies in God, family, and community rather than in the promises of any government. The lecture warns against governments that promise utopian ideals, arguing that such promises often lead to authoritarian control. Utopian systems like the French Revolution and totalitarian regimes in history demonstrate the dangers of placing too much faith in government to solve human challenges. Ultimately, the purpose of government, from a Christian worldview, is to provide a framework where people can live peaceful, quiet lives without interference. True utopia, it suggests, is found only in faith, not politics.

Government and the Ultimate Purpose of Life
Session
10:45:00 - 11:10:00
G 25m "Government and the Ultimate Purpose of Life" emphasizes that government should have a minimal role in individuals' lives, allowing them the freedom to pursue their own dreams and purpose. The ideal government operates quietly, akin to a utility company—only noticed when things go wrong. The true focus of personal purpose and fulfillment, according to this view, lies in God, family, and community rather than in the promises of any government. The lecture warns against governments that promise utopian ideals, arguing that such promises often lead to authoritarian control. Utopian systems like the French Revolution and totalitarian regimes in history demonstrate the dangers of placing too much faith in government to solve human challenges. Ultimately, the purpose of government, from a Christian worldview, is to provide a framework where people can live peaceful, quiet lives without interference. True utopia, it suggests, is found only in faith, not politics.

Their joint ministry became incredibly powerful as God used their backgrounds to open doors to share the Gospel. But the relationship between the two evangelists didn’t last and they eventually parted ways. This film explores the most credible facts about Barnabas’s life by investigating religious traditions, meeting with historical and Biblical experts, and visiting many of the geographical sites important to his story.

Government and the Ultimate Purpose of Life
Session
10:45:00 - 11:10:00
G 25m "Government and the Ultimate Purpose of Life" emphasizes that government should have a minimal role in individuals' lives, allowing them the freedom to pursue their own dreams and purpose. The ideal government operates quietly, akin to a utility company—only noticed when things go wrong. The true focus of personal purpose and fulfillment, according to this view, lies in God, family, and community rather than in the promises of any government. The lecture warns against governments that promise utopian ideals, arguing that such promises often lead to authoritarian control. Utopian systems like the French Revolution and totalitarian regimes in history demonstrate the dangers of placing too much faith in government to solve human challenges. Ultimately, the purpose of government, from a Christian worldview, is to provide a framework where people can live peaceful, quiet lives without interference. True utopia, it suggests, is found only in faith, not politics.

I'm So Glad: Kansas City And The Roots Of Black Gospel Music, The Untold Story
Session
11:45:00 - 13:40:00
G 1h 52m Kansas City is known for its jazz and blues. But the same forces that shaped those American art forms also led to the development of Black Gospel music. The rich and influential history of Black Gospel music in Kansas City, MO and Kansas City, KS has long been overlooked. In fact, historians say gospel music may be the best window through which to view the development of the Black community in and around Kansas City, MO, and its roots in pre-Civil War Kansas. The film explores this compelling legacy: featuring the music and the stories of the region's pioneering greats. Interviews with historians and scholars reveal a musical and cultural history never presented before. The film shows how the region's gospel legends played key roles in developing gospel music nationally and, further, ushering African American musical traditions into the nation's mainstream culture and entertainment industry. The film explores the importance of Free State Kansas, where slaves fled from Missouri and where thousands of Exodusters trekked north after the failure of Reconstruction in the South. Also explored is the musical legacy of Western University, the first Black college west of the Mississippi River, and how gospel music mixed with the burgeoning jazz scene at 18th & Vine to create Kansas City's distinctive gospel swing. As historian and blues performer Lemuel Sheppard explains it, something about this region "encouraged Black intellect, Black culture and Black art." The film is a journey of discovery, leading viewers through the development of gospel music to a place of better understanding of Black history, and the significant impact played by events in the Midwest. It is, in essence, a cultural archive, preserving the heritage of the region's Black gospel music and its remarkable artists. More than 100 interviews were conducted with Black studies professors, archivists, historians, musicologists, ministers, choral directors, performers and authors. Featured experts include Anthony Heilbut, Robert Marovich, Randal Jelks, Jessie Carney Smith, Katherine Karlin, William Worley, James Boyer, Chuck Haddix, Lemuel Sheppard and Charles Coulson. Featured artists include Eva Jessye, Etta Moten, Nora Holt, Edward Boatner, Genetter Bradley, Alma Whitney, Michael Charles, Bennie Moten, Count Basie, Chrystal Rucker, Reggie Watkins, Charles Williams, Angela Ward, Asaph Ward, Bishop Cortez Vaughn and international Gospel Music Conductor Isaac Cates, who also narrates the film.
She Walks A Line
Session

PG-13 1h 28m She Walks a Line is a gripping documentary that reveals the harrowing journey of thousands of young Nepali women and girls who are coerced across the border into India each year. Once across the notoriously porous 1,000-mile frontier, most are sold into the sex industry, forced into domestic servitude or subjected to organ and skin harvesting. This border has become one of the world's most prolific human trafficking routes. Amidst international indifference, one Nepali woman, Shanta Sapkota, has taken a courageous stand to combat this humanitarian crisis. Driven by heartbreak and a fierce determination, she leads a team of female anti-human trafficking operatives at the Mahendranagar crossing, a critical checkpoint where the fate of many young lives hangs in the balance. This exclusively nonwhite, female-led documentary takes the audience deep into the heart of this mission. Through the eyes of rescuers, victims, and traffickers, we witness the raw emotions, heart-wrenching struggles, and moments of triumph that define this battle against human trafficking. At its core, She Walks a Line is a story of empowerment—of women fighting for justice, of traffickers manipulating the vulnerable, and of a divine calling that has inspired one woman to stand her ground in the face of adversity. This film not only tells a story; it ignites a movement.

It follows characters each standing at a crossroads: a young dancer struggling with his body image... another walking the razor-fine line between family obligations and performance expectations... and a star performer who’s trying to prove to his parents that he’s not a failure after all. “Sharing Aloha” explores what it means to seek out your place in the world when one audition determines the role you’ll play in determining how — and if — you and your culture are seen at all.

The intention is for this first short film to serve as a proof of concept episode that will grow into an ongoing series.

Government and the Ultimate Purpose of Life
Session
10:45:00 - 11:10:00
G 25m "Government and the Ultimate Purpose of Life" emphasizes that government should have a minimal role in individuals' lives, allowing them the freedom to pursue their own dreams and purpose. The ideal government operates quietly, akin to a utility company—only noticed when things go wrong. The true focus of personal purpose and fulfillment, according to this view, lies in God, family, and community rather than in the promises of any government. The lecture warns against governments that promise utopian ideals, arguing that such promises often lead to authoritarian control. Utopian systems like the French Revolution and totalitarian regimes in history demonstrate the dangers of placing too much faith in government to solve human challenges. Ultimately, the purpose of government, from a Christian worldview, is to provide a framework where people can live peaceful, quiet lives without interference. True utopia, it suggests, is found only in faith, not politics.

I'm So Glad: Kansas City And The Roots Of Black Gospel Music, The Untold Story
Session
11:45:00 - 13:40:00
G 1h 52m Kansas City is known for its jazz and blues. But the same forces that shaped those American art forms also led to the development of Black Gospel music. The rich and influential history of Black Gospel music in Kansas City, MO and Kansas City, KS has long been overlooked. In fact, historians say gospel music may be the best window through which to view the development of the Black community in and around Kansas City, MO, and its roots in pre-Civil War Kansas. The film explores this compelling legacy: featuring the music and the stories of the region's pioneering greats. Interviews with historians and scholars reveal a musical and cultural history never presented before. The film shows how the region's gospel legends played key roles in developing gospel music nationally and, further, ushering African American musical traditions into the nation's mainstream culture and entertainment industry. The film explores the importance of Free State Kansas, where slaves fled from Missouri and where thousands of Exodusters trekked north after the failure of Reconstruction in the South. Also explored is the musical legacy of Western University, the first Black college west of the Mississippi River, and how gospel music mixed with the burgeoning jazz scene at 18th & Vine to create Kansas City's distinctive gospel swing. As historian and blues performer Lemuel Sheppard explains it, something about this region "encouraged Black intellect, Black culture and Black art." The film is a journey of discovery, leading viewers through the development of gospel music to a place of better understanding of Black history, and the significant impact played by events in the Midwest. It is, in essence, a cultural archive, preserving the heritage of the region's Black gospel music and its remarkable artists. More than 100 interviews were conducted with Black studies professors, archivists, historians, musicologists, ministers, choral directors, performers and authors. Featured experts include Anthony Heilbut, Robert Marovich, Randal Jelks, Jessie Carney Smith, Katherine Karlin, William Worley, James Boyer, Chuck Haddix, Lemuel Sheppard and Charles Coulson. Featured artists include Eva Jessye, Etta Moten, Nora Holt, Edward Boatner, Genetter Bradley, Alma Whitney, Michael Charles, Bennie Moten, Count Basie, Chrystal Rucker, Reggie Watkins, Charles Williams, Angela Ward, Asaph Ward, Bishop Cortez Vaughn and international Gospel Music Conductor Isaac Cates, who also narrates the film.
She Walks A Line

PG-13 1h 28m She Walks a Line is a gripping documentary that reveals the harrowing journey of thousands of young Nepali women and girls who are coerced across the border into India each year. Once across the notoriously porous 1,000-mile frontier, most are sold into the sex industry, forced into domestic servitude or subjected to organ and skin harvesting. This border has become one of the world's most prolific human trafficking routes. Amidst international indifference, one Nepali woman, Shanta Sapkota, has taken a courageous stand to combat this humanitarian crisis. Driven by heartbreak and a fierce determination, she leads a team of female anti-human trafficking operatives at the Mahendranagar crossing, a critical checkpoint where the fate of many young lives hangs in the balance. This exclusively nonwhite, female-led documentary takes the audience deep into the heart of this mission. Through the eyes of rescuers, victims, and traffickers, we witness the raw emotions, heart-wrenching struggles, and moments of triumph that define this battle against human trafficking. At its core, She Walks a Line is a story of empowerment—of women fighting for justice, of traffickers manipulating the vulnerable, and of a divine calling that has inspired one woman to stand her ground in the face of adversity. This film not only tells a story; it ignites a movement.

It follows characters each standing at a crossroads: a young dancer struggling with his body image... another walking the razor-fine line between family obligations and performance expectations... and a star performer who’s trying to prove to his parents that he’s not a failure after all. “Sharing Aloha” explores what it means to seek out your place in the world when one audition determines the role you’ll play in determining how — and if — you and your culture are seen at all.

PG 35m SERIES OVERVIEW: A grieving daughter finds herself drawn into the same supernatural program her late mother worked--matching undercover Bible characters with people facing challenges today. It's all this stunned daughter can do to keep up normal appearance while seeking redemption for her past mistakes. EPISODE 105: When the Program chooses an opioid-addicted woman to help next, McKenna is beyond frustrated. When will they help her father, who’s been drowning his sorrows in the bottle for months? Still, Miriam insists they help this former investigative reporter, who fell prey to the opioid crisis she’d exposéd. To feed her habit, she also tricked her dying father into signing his home over to her, rather than her younger sister who served as his caregiver. McKenna sets up Courier Jacob among a homeless encampment. He’s no stranger to tent-life or stealing birthrights. As McKenna helps the younger sister donate her father’s things, a pre-foreclosure notice arrives. Meanwhile, the addict forages for a fix at the encampment, where she meets Jacob. When Miriam sends McKenna to the encampment, McKenna asks Tanner to come with her, so he can vouch for why she’s there around drugs while on probation. At home, tensions between McKenna and her dad come to a boil. Their hurtful blow-up has McKenna leaving her home—and her father to face what’s really driving him to drink.
The Lost Healer
Session
18:25:00 - 18:40:00
G 15m In defiance of the empire that oppresses her kingdom, a young princess searches for a lost relic known as the Healer that can restore her people’s freedom. As she seeks the Healer, her quest arouses many enemies but also stirs the hearts of others...including a knight from the opposing ranks. The Lost Healer is a fantasy allegory that reflects biblical themes through its narrative, in the vein of Narnia or Pilgrim's Progress. Each character represents a different stage of the faith journey: the faithful follower who acts bravely on their belief and inspires others, even when persecution arises (Matthew 5:14-16); the conformed believer who struggles with doubt and is afraid to commit fully to their beliefs (Romans 12:2); and the seeker who, while not yet a follower, is increasingly open to exploring the truth (Mark 12:34). The intention is for this first short film to serve as a proof of concept episode that will grow into an ongoing series. The overall narrative of the project is meant to reflect the long and often painful wait for Christ's return, showing how His followers are to conduct themselves in a lost and broken world.

The writings detail Mary’s battle with cancer, the loss of her daughter, and her constant prayers for ways to heal her broken family.

Government and the Ultimate Purpose of Life
Session
10:45:00 - 11:10:00
G 25m "Government and the Ultimate Purpose of Life" emphasizes that government should have a minimal role in individuals' lives, allowing them the freedom to pursue their own dreams and purpose. The ideal government operates quietly, akin to a utility company—only noticed when things go wrong. The true focus of personal purpose and fulfillment, according to this view, lies in God, family, and community rather than in the promises of any government. The lecture warns against governments that promise utopian ideals, arguing that such promises often lead to authoritarian control. Utopian systems like the French Revolution and totalitarian regimes in history demonstrate the dangers of placing too much faith in government to solve human challenges. Ultimately, the purpose of government, from a Christian worldview, is to provide a framework where people can live peaceful, quiet lives without interference. True utopia, it suggests, is found only in faith, not politics.

Their joint ministry became incredibly powerful as God used their backgrounds to open doors to share the Gospel. But the relationship between the two evangelists didn’t last and they eventually parted ways. This film explores the most credible facts about Barnabas’s life by investigating religious traditions, meeting with historical and Biblical experts, and visiting many of the geographical sites important to his story.

I'm So Glad: Kansas City And The Roots Of Black Gospel Music, The Untold Story
Session
11:45:00 - 13:40:00
G 1h 52m Kansas City is known for its jazz and blues. But the same forces that shaped those American art forms also led to the development of Black Gospel music. The rich and influential history of Black Gospel music in Kansas City, MO and Kansas City, KS has long been overlooked. In fact, historians say gospel music may be the best window through which to view the development of the Black community in and around Kansas City, MO, and its roots in pre-Civil War Kansas. The film explores this compelling legacy: featuring the music and the stories of the region's pioneering greats. Interviews with historians and scholars reveal a musical and cultural history never presented before. The film shows how the region's gospel legends played key roles in developing gospel music nationally and, further, ushering African American musical traditions into the nation's mainstream culture and entertainment industry. The film explores the importance of Free State Kansas, where slaves fled from Missouri and where thousands of Exodusters trekked north after the failure of Reconstruction in the South. Also explored is the musical legacy of Western University, the first Black college west of the Mississippi River, and how gospel music mixed with the burgeoning jazz scene at 18th & Vine to create Kansas City's distinctive gospel swing. As historian and blues performer Lemuel Sheppard explains it, something about this region "encouraged Black intellect, Black culture and Black art." The film is a journey of discovery, leading viewers through the development of gospel music to a place of better understanding of Black history, and the significant impact played by events in the Midwest. It is, in essence, a cultural archive, preserving the heritage of the region's Black gospel music and its remarkable artists. More than 100 interviews were conducted with Black studies professors, archivists, historians, musicologists, ministers, choral directors, performers and authors. Featured experts include Anthony Heilbut, Robert Marovich, Randal Jelks, Jessie Carney Smith, Katherine Karlin, William Worley, James Boyer, Chuck Haddix, Lemuel Sheppard and Charles Coulson. Featured artists include Eva Jessye, Etta Moten, Nora Holt, Edward Boatner, Genetter Bradley, Alma Whitney, Michael Charles, Bennie Moten, Count Basie, Chrystal Rucker, Reggie Watkins, Charles Williams, Angela Ward, Asaph Ward, Bishop Cortez Vaughn and international Gospel Music Conductor Isaac Cates, who also narrates the film.

PG-13 1h 28m She Walks a Line is a gripping documentary that reveals the harrowing journey of thousands of young Nepali women and girls who are coerced across the border into India each year. Once across the notoriously porous 1,000-mile frontier, most are sold into the sex industry, forced into domestic servitude or subjected to organ and skin harvesting. This border has become one of the world's most prolific human trafficking routes. Amidst international indifference, one Nepali woman, Shanta Sapkota, has taken a courageous stand to combat this humanitarian crisis. Driven by heartbreak and a fierce determination, she leads a team of female anti-human trafficking operatives at the Mahendranagar crossing, a critical checkpoint where the fate of many young lives hangs in the balance. This exclusively nonwhite, female-led documentary takes the audience deep into the heart of this mission. Through the eyes of rescuers, victims, and traffickers, we witness the raw emotions, heart-wrenching struggles, and moments of triumph that define this battle against human trafficking. At its core, She Walks a Line is a story of empowerment—of women fighting for justice, of traffickers manipulating the vulnerable, and of a divine calling that has inspired one woman to stand her ground in the face of adversity. This film not only tells a story; it ignites a movement.
Sharing Aloha

It’s a backstage, unscripted exploration of what it means for young Pacific Islanders to preserve and pass on the culture of their ancestors even as the winds of Hawaiian tourism (both over-tourism, and the pushback against it) shift and change, potentially threatening the foundation upon which they stand — and dance, chant and (sometimes nail-bitingly) perform. It follows characters each standing at a crossroads: a young dancer struggling with his body image... another walking the razor-fine line between family obligations and performance expectations... and a star performer who’s trying to prove to his parents that he’s not a failure after all. “Sharing Aloha” explores what it means to seek out your place in the world when one audition determines the role you’ll play in determining how — and if — you and your culture are seen at all.

Each character represents a different stage of the faith journey: the faithful follower who acts bravely on their belief and inspires others, even when persecution arises (Matthew 5:14-16); the conformed believer who struggles with doubt and is afraid to commit fully to their beliefs (Romans 12:2); and the seeker who, while not yet a follower, is increasingly open to exploring the truth (Mark 12:34). The intention is for this first short film to serve as a proof of concept episode that will grow into an ongoing series. The overall narrative of the project is meant to reflect the long and often painful wait for Christ's return, showing how His followers are to conduct themselves in a lost and broken world.

Her will to live and surmount the obstacles which fate dealt her is the stuff of legends. Hers is a story of Faith, hope, courage and science.

Government and the Ultimate Purpose of Life
Session
10:45:00 - 11:10:00
G 25m "Government and the Ultimate Purpose of Life" emphasizes that government should have a minimal role in individuals' lives, allowing them the freedom to pursue their own dreams and purpose. The ideal government operates quietly, akin to a utility company—only noticed when things go wrong. The true focus of personal purpose and fulfillment, according to this view, lies in God, family, and community rather than in the promises of any government. The lecture warns against governments that promise utopian ideals, arguing that such promises often lead to authoritarian control. Utopian systems like the French Revolution and totalitarian regimes in history demonstrate the dangers of placing too much faith in government to solve human challenges. Ultimately, the purpose of government, from a Christian worldview, is to provide a framework where people can live peaceful, quiet lives without interference. True utopia, it suggests, is found only in faith, not politics.

Their joint ministry became incredibly powerful as God used their backgrounds to open doors to share the Gospel. But the relationship between the two evangelists didn’t last and they eventually parted ways. This film explores the most credible facts about Barnabas’s life by investigating religious traditions, meeting with historical and Biblical experts, and visiting many of the geographical sites important to his story.

I'm So Glad: Kansas City And The Roots Of Black Gospel Music, The Untold Story
Session
11:45:00 - 13:40:00
G 1h 52m Kansas City is known for its jazz and blues. But the same forces that shaped those American art forms also led to the development of Black Gospel music. The rich and influential history of Black Gospel music in Kansas City, MO and Kansas City, KS has long been overlooked. In fact, historians say gospel music may be the best window through which to view the development of the Black community in and around Kansas City, MO, and its roots in pre-Civil War Kansas. The film explores this compelling legacy: featuring the music and the stories of the region's pioneering greats. Interviews with historians and scholars reveal a musical and cultural history never presented before. The film shows how the region's gospel legends played key roles in developing gospel music nationally and, further, ushering African American musical traditions into the nation's mainstream culture and entertainment industry. The film explores the importance of Free State Kansas, where slaves fled from Missouri and where thousands of Exodusters trekked north after the failure of Reconstruction in the South. Also explored is the musical legacy of Western University, the first Black college west of the Mississippi River, and how gospel music mixed with the burgeoning jazz scene at 18th & Vine to create Kansas City's distinctive gospel swing. As historian and blues performer Lemuel Sheppard explains it, something about this region "encouraged Black intellect, Black culture and Black art." The film is a journey of discovery, leading viewers through the development of gospel music to a place of better understanding of Black history, and the significant impact played by events in the Midwest. It is, in essence, a cultural archive, preserving the heritage of the region's Black gospel music and its remarkable artists. More than 100 interviews were conducted with Black studies professors, archivists, historians, musicologists, ministers, choral directors, performers and authors. Featured experts include Anthony Heilbut, Robert Marovich, Randal Jelks, Jessie Carney Smith, Katherine Karlin, William Worley, James Boyer, Chuck Haddix, Lemuel Sheppard and Charles Coulson. Featured artists include Eva Jessye, Etta Moten, Nora Holt, Edward Boatner, Genetter Bradley, Alma Whitney, Michael Charles, Bennie Moten, Count Basie, Chrystal Rucker, Reggie Watkins, Charles Williams, Angela Ward, Asaph Ward, Bishop Cortez Vaughn and international Gospel Music Conductor Isaac Cates, who also narrates the film.

PG-13 1h 28m She Walks a Line is a gripping documentary that reveals the harrowing journey of thousands of young Nepali women and girls who are coerced across the border into India each year. Once across the notoriously porous 1,000-mile frontier, most are sold into the sex industry, forced into domestic servitude or subjected to organ and skin harvesting. This border has become one of the world's most prolific human trafficking routes. Amidst international indifference, one Nepali woman, Shanta Sapkota, has taken a courageous stand to combat this humanitarian crisis. Driven by heartbreak and a fierce determination, she leads a team of female anti-human trafficking operatives at the Mahendranagar crossing, a critical checkpoint where the fate of many young lives hangs in the balance. This exclusively nonwhite, female-led documentary takes the audience deep into the heart of this mission. Through the eyes of rescuers, victims, and traffickers, we witness the raw emotions, heart-wrenching struggles, and moments of triumph that define this battle against human trafficking. At its core, She Walks a Line is a story of empowerment—of women fighting for justice, of traffickers manipulating the vulnerable, and of a divine calling that has inspired one woman to stand her ground in the face of adversity. This film not only tells a story; it ignites a movement.
Sharing Aloha

It’s a backstage, unscripted exploration of what it means for young Pacific Islanders to preserve and pass on the culture of their ancestors even as the winds of Hawaiian tourism (both over-tourism, and the pushback against it) shift and change, potentially threatening the foundation upon which they stand — and dance, chant and (sometimes nail-bitingly) perform. It follows characters each standing at a crossroads: a young dancer struggling with his body image... another walking the razor-fine line between family obligations and performance expectations... and a star performer who’s trying to prove to his parents that he’s not a failure after all. “Sharing Aloha” explores what it means to seek out your place in the world when one audition determines the role you’ll play in determining how — and if — you and your culture are seen at all.

Returning from war as a hero, Vinicius stops at the residence of the retired General Plautius to rest, there, he sees and instantly falls in love with Lygia. A young Christian during the early emergence and persecution of Christians in Rome, Lygia lives by a high set of values and morals and can't fully give her heart to Vinicius until he too lives his life dedicated to good and love. Having to have Lygia, Vinicius enlists the help of his uncle Petronius, a former Governor and very influential member of Nero's high court to help him. Petronius himself is involved in a budding love that is transforming him towards good with his beautiful servant, Eunice. Petronius hatches a plan to get Lygia for Vinicius and speaks to Nero, convincing him to order Lygia to be brought to the palace as property of the Empire, with the eventual plan to have her then given to Vinicius as a present. At one of Nero's extravagant parties, a drunken Vinicius tries to seduce Lygia. Trying to resist his advances, Lygia is saved by her bodyguard Ursus and escapes to her Christian friends.
