THE COMPANY: This documentary, hosted by the distinguished Irish actor Cyril Cusack, examines the life and legacy of Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus and one of the most influential reformers of the Christian Church. Rarely has any other single group influenced the modern world (secular as well as spiritual) as the Jesuits. Suppressed and dissolved by the Pope in 1773 (which affected 23,000 Jesuits--almost as many as there are today), they were saved by the Empress of Russia, Catherine the Great. The Society of Jesus later became one of the most powerful organizations in the history of Christianity. Historian Paul Johnson and Jesuits from various countries provide a provocative portrait of the Society and its founder. Filmed in location in England, France, Italy, Spain and the U.S., the documentary is a visually moving mosaic of the locations and events that influenced the story of Ignatius and his followers from the early years to the present.THOMAS BERRY: Father Thomas Berry was born in the hill country of North Carolina, and educated as a Catholic priest. He is a historian of cultures, a highly respected author and public speaker, an environmental activist, and a poet. He has studied the languages and cultures of India and China and has participated in the educational programs of the T'Boli tribes in Mandanao in the Phillipines. He is the author of numerous articles and several books including the highly respected The Dream of the Earth. He also co-wrote The Universe Story with Brian Swimme, which was published in 1992. This profound and poetic modern myth, which combines science and the humanities, may become the blueprint for the education of the future.

Common Threads-Stories From the Quilt
- In the late 1970's, a mysterious new disease began infecting and killing gay men. Common Threads tells the powerful story of the first decade of the AIDS epidemic, as told through the lives of five very diverse individuals who shared a common fate. Using the monumental NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt as its central metaphor, the film weaves together personal memories and television news stories to expose the U.S. government's failure to respond to the growing epidemic, and the vibrant protest movement that was born as a result. From the Olympic athlete to the inner-city recovering drug addict, from the conservative naval commander to the New York gay activist to the 11-year-old suburban boy with hemophilia, the film uses intimate details to tell an epic story of love, loss, anger and healing.
