We are thrilled to announce that RAW FAITH has been selected for Video Librarian's 2012 BEST DOCUMENTARIES list!
The film is available with Public Performance Rights (PPR) and Digital Site Licenses (DSL) for educators and non-profit institutions from Kino Lorber Edu. ABOUT THE FILM RAW FAITH is an intimate and revealing documentary that follows two years in the private life of Marilyn Sewell, an outspoken and socially progressive Unitarian minister who has re-energized her Portland community. While serving a community that relies on her for wisdom and advice (on both personal and ethical issues), Marilyn struggles quietly with decisions about her own future. As she seeks to reconcile the commitments of her profession with a longing for intimacy and love, childhood memories of mental illness and alcoholism come back to the surface and must be dealt with before she can move forward. As Marilyn’s life unfolds in front of the camera (in real time), she shares her journey with remarkable candor, humor and increasing wisdom, ultimately leading her to an unexpected revelation of faith and love in all of its guises. CRITICAL ACCLAIM “This modest and unpretentious documentary nicely celebrates the dedication and honesty she has in common with many other clerics who serve quietly and selflessly. Recommended.” - Video Librarian "...it's refreshing to see a documentary about a normal grown-up who is struggling with problems of life and love, just as so many invisible others do." - The New York Times $189.00 - DVD – with PPR $499.00 - DVD – with DSL $599.00 - DVD – with PPR and DSL Visit our website to view a trailer: http://kinolorberedu.com/film.php?id=1216 Best, Serena -- Serena Koch Kino Lorber 333 West 39th Street, Suite 503 New York, NY 10018 (t) 212.629.6880 (f) 212-714-0871
VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
