A church in Austria attempts to reverse anti-Semitism by inviting Jewish Holocaust survivors to return for a Week of Reconciliaon in 1995. Faust accompanies her mother and both embark on an emotional roller coaster ride along with over 200 curch members and 25 Jews. Viewers share the challengin and up-lifting journey with its universal message of love that applies to any war, even the Holocaust. "Packed from stat to finish with emotion. Tells a sad but uplifting story about love and redemption. The discussion afterwards is as powerful as the movie!" -Coastal Journal of Maine Judy and her mother, Trudy, attend a Reconciliation event in Austria in 1995, along with twenty-five other Jews from Israel and America, former residents of Austria. They meet the Ichthys Church, led by Pastor Helmuth Eiwen and his visionary wife, Uli, and all embark on an emotional roller coaster ride of sorrow and compassion. Can a small group of Christians really expect friendship and forgiveness from Holocaust survivors from their hometown? How can the Jewish guests forgive? What do they go through in order to heal? What did the church members want?

COMING SOON!! We saw YOUNG AT HEART this spring at a theatre owners convention. It opens with a 80 something lady screaming and it takes a while to realize she's in the middle of the Clash "Should I stay or should I go?!" until the band opens up with her and there's this chorus where anyone under 70 is the youngster in the group. The documentary is about a now world famous, well traveled, band of well aged singers covering modern rock like Talking Heads, Clash, and much more. And they rock. Backed up by a puppyish 50 something band, the music alone is worth the price of admission. To hear them sing Bob Dylan's "Forever Young" to a audience of prisoners is heart stopping stuff. The film follows individuals and the group as they prepare for their seasons opening performance. Along the way we see them as youngsters, find out about their earlier lives, and share the pains and thrills of rocking when you're 85. It's exhilarating and at times deeply sad; old age is not for sissies. I hope everyone will see this film. Who should see it: fans of film, anyone who is getting older day by day, and everyone who wants to be relevant. It's one of the best films of the year.
